Description

A pair of anti-capitalist prints by artist Roger Peet to adorn your wall:


Work is Over! - an 11" x 17" risograph print. 


The work we do keeps this rotten system aloft, and if we stop working, we risk disaster and destitution. What could we be doing differently to make a world where work meant something less awful, for everyone involved? I think the ants figured this out a long time ago.


Shut It Down - a 10" x 13" print. 


I was in the backcountry of northern California, miles from cell service, in the week after the fall of Roe vs Wade when this idea emerged in my sketchbook, and it felt a bit like a return to the roots. The machine that grinds us up needs a sort of normalcy to survive; it’s up to us to push back however we can; interrupting the flow of numbers and commodities and taking up as much physical and rhetorical space as possible. We must be incredibly annoying in the service of the world we want.


Quotes from Roger Peet on Just Seeds website.


Both prints are framed.
