The Crippled Beggar Knew a Priceless Secret
Assembled from a poetic accumulation of weathered and discarded materials—metal, plastic, and wood letters alongside glass, wax, glazed ceramic, artificial flowers, postcards, and incense sticks—this work reflects Pierson's signature embrace of the melancholic and the transient. The title, evoking a kind of street-worn mysticism, finds its visual counterpart in the layered texture of found objects that carry their own histories of use and abandonment. Together, the elements conjure a fragile narrative suspended between revelation and decay.
