Naes Pierott has created life-size images of her family and friends, capturing them in playful and everyday moments. These shaped cyanotypes, suspended in the gallery space mirror the proportions of the individuals photographed to create the sensation that they are physically present. Viewers can interact and walk among the works, fostering a sense of intimacy and connection.
Pierott’s practice is rooted in the Black community. Through quilting, oil painting, and photography, she explores the Black American experience while also making space for other marginalized communities. Her work draws from personal memory, cultural history, and collective storytelling.
Pierott earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2023 and is currently pursuing a Master of Education with a concentration in Curriculum and Instruction, specializing in Instructional Design. Her work has been exhibited primarily in Nevada including at the Donna Beam Gallery and Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at UNLV, Nuwu Art Gallery, Clark County Rotunda Gallery, Left of Center Gallery, City of Las Vegas Chamber Gallery and Serva Pool Gallery, Holland Project, Reno.
This exhibition has been made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Nevada Arts Council.
We welcome you to visit the exhibition from Saturday 30th May to Saturday 27th June with viewings by appointment: couperruss@gmail.com
