Jackie Nickerson: Salvage
Portraits that explore how environmental and economic circumstances shape people's lives American-born British artist Jackie Nickerson (born 1960) began photographing Zimbabwean farmworkers in 1996. Her first series of these portraits served to change the perception that those who work in African agriculture are disempowered, unmodern people by highlighting their individual personalities through their handmade clothing. Ever since, she has continued in the vein of portraiture as a tool for social awareness, with a particular emphasis on global labor practices and agriculture. Her recent series Salvageinterrogates the homogeneity of the artistic conventions, such as balance, likeness, proportion and scale, that characterize the portrait genre. In contrast to these expectations, Nickerson's photography engages both her subjects and her viewers with light, airy color palettes and nontraditional framing, sometimes obscuring her sitters' faces to imply anonymity within a larger system or otherwise photographing them from a low angle to emphasize their authority within the image's frame.
Faith
"Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to present 'Faith' Jackie Nickerson's second solo exhibition at the gallery. 'Faith' is a compelling portrayal of a hidden world, the Catholic religious orders of Ireland. Nickerson was granted unprecedented access to places that have never been seen before by outsiders. For two-and-a-half years, Nickerson photographed inside the churches, convents and abbeys of Ireland. 'Faith' juxtaposes gentle portraits with straightforward images of daily rituals and communal devotion - neatly swept wooden floors on long corridors, sunny libraries attended by Virgin Mary figurines - to suggest an austere existence grounded in optimism, strength and contentment."--Gallery website.
Farm
After a career as a successful magazine photographer, Jackie Nickerson quit the commercial world, bought a truck and spent two and a half years travelling through Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa and Zimbabwe. She photographed in the small towns and on the corporate plantations making astonishing portraits of workers in their workplace. The result is the forging of a new visual language that creates a great sense of elegance, dignity and compassion in the face of daily toil. Farm has become a document for an agrarian culture in tatters and, in some places, on the brink of collapse. It is a view of Africa outside the language of photojournalism and the previous depictions of the glories of tribal culture.

Jackie Nickerson: Unseen Farm
Unpublished images from Nickerson's classic depiction of African agricultural workers This book presents previously unpublished work from Jackie Nickerson's acclaimed Farm series. Farm was published by Random House in 2002 and features images made between 1997 and 2001 across Southern Africa. Unseen Farm is an exploration of the people working in agriculture in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Mozambique and South Africa, and includes 6×7 medium-format photographs shot on film, Polaroids and contact sheets from the artist's archive. Comparable to Walker Evans' and James Agee's influential account of US rural workers in the mid-1930s, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Nickerson's vision is celebratory and non-judgmental while aware of photography's limits in capturing the full depth of its subjects. In Edward K. Owusu-Ansah's words: "Nickerson registers everything about her subjects in minute detail, sincerely and without commentary, allowing them to live through her lens. The result is a display of dignity amidst want, pride in labor and perseverance in spite of limited resources."
