Early life and education
Hoeckele was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1980. [1] Hoeckele received her B.F.A. in Photography from Georgia State University and received her M.F.A. in studio art from Hunter College in New York, in 2012. [2]
In June 2025, Hoeckele was a resident as part of the Image Text Workshop Residency at Cornell University. [3]
Hoeckele is currently an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University, NYU, and Parsons School of Design. [4]
Her work is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. [5]
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. [6] 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. [7] 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.
