EMILY ELHOFFER
Emily Elhoffer’s work is composed of plump, vibrantly textured soft sculptures whose forms are abstracted from fatty bellies, thighs, and other figurative parts. She explores ideas of body image, body dysphoria, and our cultural conversation around beauty normativity. Her art glamorizes fat, irregularity, and non-normative forms; the sculptural objects she makes are visual reminders to worship your body. Emily makes offerings of spandex and tinsel, glitter fat rolls, and crushed velvet, celebrating the body through art in its multitude of forms, colors, and textures.
Elhoffer is a nationally shown artist whose work is inspired by forms and processes of the body. She received her BFA from Kansas City Art Institute, has opened an artist collective in St. Louis, and is an MFA candidate at Sam Fox School. Her work is shown, installed, and collected in New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, and St. Louis.
