Pierson’s languid images of summer retreat landscapes and interiors, friends, intimate acquaintances, holiday-city background, and set nostalgic recreations are sensually prepared in one long groove-by turns overwhelming bleached in color, coolly prepared in a non-obtrusive manner, or scorched into sheer emotion through lens manipulation.

The heart of Jack’s work lies in the attraction to the fleetness of beauty, the over-the-shoulder movement one takes in exercising a deliberate, if futile, effort to retain a sight, an impression of something desirable, something graceful-something that one wishes to keep “alive” in its static splendor. It’s this evanescence of beauty in Jack’s work that creates an eroticism of desire, for the lost moment, the perfect image, the sweet memory, of capturing and holding that beauty, for the sadness of that passing.
