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.
