Jack Pierson was born in Plymouth, MA in 1960. Pierson’s body of work includes photographs, collages, word sculptures, installations and drawings. The themes of loss, longing, and nostalgia feature prominently in his work. Many of his photographs, especially those of local architecture and roadside signs, recognize the beauty in the banal. Pierson divides his time between his home and studio in the desert near Joshua Tree National Park and New York.
