Briefly

"National Character" by Photographer John Sanderson
""The commonplace has become all too common, a veritable exercise in the predictable: strip malls, franchised restaurants, banks, and a gas station on every corner of a four way intersection. It would be false to say I don't rely on these conveniences, but I am still trying to figure out why I don't picture them.""
""In searching for examples of our national identity, I often exit major byways and instead travel intimate two lane roads in searching for that spiritual topography so indicative of postclectic American Places.""
John Sanderson's photography reflects the shifting social landscapes of the United States, focusing on themes of impermanence and expansion. His work conveys a sense of melancholia, highlighting figures and spaces that are on the verge of irrelevance in a post-industrial and increasingly technological world. Despite this, there is an underlying hope and charm. Sanderson seeks to explore the spiritual topography of America by traveling off major highways to find representations of national identity beyond the commonplace and predictable elements of modern life.
