artist's bio:

Deeply entrenched in New England's bohemian culture, addam practices the art of photography with well worn, handed down, and makeshift equipment. His compositions are primarily inspired of expressionism, surrealism, early twentieth century fashion photography, and film noir. By abstracting reality, addam uses the human form to parallel the human condition, and sees, in the words of Boston's Weekly Dig, "through a lens, darkly." He infuses form and a modern mythology into his symbolic nude works, intuitively defining a unique style of communication.

Raised by a paired parentage of art majors, young addam dabbled in many fine arts and craft mediums. He began to experiment with photography as a child, continuing with elective darkroom courses in school. As an adult, self education and experimentation has led addam to develop a consistent quality in an enormous body of work – entirely processed and printed by hand, usually in very primative conditions.

By harmonizing his images into conceptual groups, addam creates an intellectual environment for each of his exhibitions. However, the works stand independent of their combined context. Each photograph is study of aesthetics and beauty born in the Gothic, and culminating in the Current age. Each print is infused with a sublime sense of emotive poetry, and so addam defines his idiom.
