Lot Notes
Pickering captures demonstrations of pyrotechnic training devices used by the milatary and police, transforming explosions into serene bursts of light. The blasts serve as a powerful metaphor that represents 'an extreme state conjur[ing] some visually rich imagery in our language, fusing fear, power, pleasure and the unknown.' (Garin, Dazed & Confused, 2007, p.196) She is the recipient of the Photographers' Gallery Graduate Award and a Jerwood Award. Pickering lives and works in London.
