Behold: the work of Alice Teeple.
Born in rural Pennsylvania, Teeple’s childhood was filled with fairy tales and the wild unknown. Spending much of her early life at the historical museum her family operated also inspired her taste for time travel. After earning a BA in Integrative Arts from Penn State, she did time teaching beginning photo at her alma mater before striking out on her own. She then took some writing classes through Second City and went through the UCB improv program. While comedy wasn’t her path, she still uses the principles she learned through those programs to this day.
Alice Teeple explores themes of the collective subconscious and spirituality in her conceptual work. Her themes are inspired by nature, mythology, music, the occult, divination, silent cinema, Shakespeare, human history, and psychic visions.
In her documentary work, she just photographs the stuff she sees – whether you like it or not.
