Livre Jackie Nickerson - Faith Jackie Nickerson’s Faith is a compelling portrayal of a hidden world, the Catholic religious orders of Ireland. Her combination of gentle portraits and simple documentation of daily rituals and communal devotion suggest an austere existence grounded in optimism, strength and contentment. The simplicity of Nickerson’s images invokes the muted and restrained palette of Fra Angelico, bringing an often beatific air to her tranquil subjects. Whilst never suggesting that she is able to divine or represent the veiled mysteries of faith, Nickerson does manage to honestly present a vocational life riven by clarity of purpose and personal courage.

La nature, source de bonheur et de bienfaits
Sujet d’actualité, au centre des réflexions sur le destin de la planète, la nature n’a cessé d’être au fil du temps domestiquée, si ce n’est maîtrisée, par l’homme. Il en reconnaît les bienfaits, quand elle n’est pas son unique ressource. Dans le domaine de l’art, la nature est aussi l’un des motifs favoris des peintres qui en ont fréquemment ce&...Festival FOTOFESTIWAL 2009 FOTOFESTIWAL, Lodz, Poland, May 7th – 31st, 2009

"Faith" is a compelling portrayal of a hidden world, the Catholic religious orders of Ireland.
For two-and-a-half years, Nickerson photographed inside the churches, convents and abbeys of Ireland. She was granted unprecedented access to to the private worlds of the religious in their places of work and prayer, some of which had never before been seen by the outside world. Of her experience, Nickerson reflects, "These are individuals and communities which are steeped in an interiority, which they have discovered is not their own but something wider and deeper than themselves, of which they are a part."
"Faith" juxtaposes gentle portraits with straightforward images of daily ri...Modifier l'image
