"Sarah Pickering's photographs jar our sense of security and illuminate the ways in which we cope with traumatic events that are beyond our control... Ultimately Pickering's photographs raise questions about the efficacy of preparedness and hint at the psycological effort needed to combat and recover from trauma--the struggle to live with the anxiety, the invisible violence, that accompanies security."
Karen Irvine, excerpted from the catalog essay, "Incident Control" published in Sarah Pickering: Explosions, Fires and Public Order.
