SALVAGE, Jackie Nickerson

'Salvage': The title alludes to the reused and recycled content of Jackie Nickerson's 2020 series of studio portraits that explore the homogeneity of portraiture-balance, similarity, proportions, size-that characterise the genre. With her photographic examination of old masters and modern paintings, Nickerson illuminates the way in which artists over centuries interpret the observed world in their own way by using common visual techniques and means of expression in different media.
