John Nickerson began his artistic journey as a filmmaker using sound and moving images to explore ideas. Becoming increasingly fascinated by the power of the image began to strip away dialogue, then sound then motion itself leaving only the still image. Further drawn into the infinite complexity of a single image, he began to explore questions that the image pose. Questions that go beyond the recognizable objects within the images to interrogate the shape, shadow, color and form.
It has been said many times that “the thing is never just the thing”, that an image can always be seen as an abstraction of a deeper truth. With this in mind, John Nickerson presents photographs that allow space for the viewers mind to wander within them.
