Pierson's self-curated retrospective of his work from 1987 to 1997. Spiral bound with slipcase. Inspired by a Joni Mitchell song called "Coyote", Markus Pierson explores the motif (truncated) of the coyote in paintings, drawings, mixed-media sculpture, hand-pulled serigraphs, and found object assemblage. "I want the coyotes to whisper in their ears wild, irresponsible notions about self-determination and destiny... I want them to grab people by the scruffs of their necks, to inspire them, to change their lives." (Inventory #: 324720)
