Themes

Hoeckele's work draws from appropriated images and found objects to construct work that quotes from and reconfigures male-dominant viewpoints carried through literary, art historical, and philosophical works of the Western Canon. Her performance work Rosy-Crimson stemmed from a close reading of the Ancient Greek epic poem The Odyssey. In Rosy-Crimson she appropriates recurring text that omits Odysseus, and rearranges it into a script experimentally performed by actors. In epoch, stage, shell, Hoeckele photographs her body as author and subject to perform sculptural poses for the camera, which are modeled from Greco-Roman ethnographic, art historical, and commercial images.
