She is also an award-winning documentary film-maker and was a commissioning editor at the BBC and Channel 4 and she taught documentary at the National Film and Television School. She uses non-traditional art materials to make objects and installations which veer between fun and profundity, lightness and darkness. She has work are included in international collections in Italy and Germany and she has exhibited frequently in London and the South East.

In her installations in 2023/2024 Caroline Pick creates surprising, playful worlds with a joyous use of colourful, everyday objects and materials, re-purposed to make us smile and question the world we live in. She brings into being immersive, spacious environments, mashing up ideas of the Anthropocene and decades-long knowledge of film-making, photography and projection with edgy critique. Pick imbues objects with powers to heal and affect us, using ordinary, simple and found objects: feathers, wood and soft materials. Her forms are a little absurd, provisional and improvisatory, reflecting the spontaneity of the process of their making. She juxtaposes her materials to make profound, sometimes funny, rather odd pieces, animations and environments. She is led by the process. She is a joyful thorn in your side.
