Bio:

E. Elhoffer is an interdisciplinary artist who makes bizarre and visceral work. They earned their undergraduate degree from Kansas City Art Institute and MFA from Sam Fox School of Art & Design at Washington University. They work and teach in St. Louis, Missouri, where they actively grapple with political adversity regarding their nonmale, nonbinary body. Elhoffer exhibits in galleries, museums and institutions nationally and internationally.

Elhoffer's work deals with themes that affect their body, such as the contemporary gaze cast upon it and mind-body dysphoria. Their pieces examine the ways in which societal norms, virtual space, and power structures shape one’s understanding of their bodily identity. Through their art, Elhoffer invites viewers to question their own assumptions and consider alternative ways of living within one's own flesh.
