"Hello My Friend! Alee Peoples’ transformative, evocative work invites us to talk, joke, chat, imagine and play—the same participation you may have among friends—opposing the expected and ultimately harmful closures of capitalist culture, and rejoicing together in the infinite gift of shared camaraderie. See you soon."-Ekrem Serdar

Insert Press is excited also to be releasing a new print edition, Caroline’s Jeans, by Alee Peoples in an edition of 25 plus 4 A.P.’s. Highlighting an interplay of patterns, Caroline’s Jeans, 2023, is a silkscreen monoprint onto an Archival InkJet print on 21mil Epson Cold Press Bright paper, 22” x 17”.

Alee Peoples is an innovative multimedia artist whose work explores the intersections of text, pattern, and visual communication. Her work is like a Rubik’s Cube, deceptively simple and fascinating. Shooting Super8 and 16mm in her film work and using repurposed fabric and materials in her textile work, Peoples transforms everyday objects into unique, abstract narratives that explore the absurdities and banalities of our contemporary imagination. Elements of a cosmic aesthetic run throughout her work, bringing her handcrafted look to life. Her work engages in a fierce form of play, grappling with meaning instead of grasping for it.
