Beth Hoeckel
works mainly in the field of collage but also creates paintings,
drawings, and photographs. She studied painting, photography and
printmaking at the ‘School of the Art Institute of Chicago’ and after
some years abroad, including living in New York and Los Angeles, she
found her base in Baltimore. She is working
in collage, mixed media and photography. Her series ‘Evidents’ is a
play on words. Thereby ‘evident’ means perceptible or obvious, and
‘evidence’ is a proof or verification. Like this the series is
otherworldly yet coherent, surreal yet believable and so you can see
little kids eating a giant sandwich or hands and arms crawling out of
the landscape. She says ‘Each piece is a portrayal of a moment that
seems unlikely, but tangible signs are revealed and cannot be denied’.
