Medical tubing, ecoplastic, and air. 228 x 156 x 60 inches. Dialysis machines hum as they filter blood, electro-stimulation tools zap deteriorated neurons, and ventilators push and pull air into and out of uncontrolled lungs. The work is composed of one long pink inflatable membrane strung up via latex materials, and it is designed to evoke an oversized corporeal form. The saggy skin pulls taut when its air blower, mechanized on an electrical timer, stuffs air into the magenta plastic skin. The main form shapes and is shaped by the pliant web of yellow surgical tubing and latex resistance banding suspending it aloft in space. Air fills the piece, then slowly leaks out allowing the membrane to sag under its own weight before being filled again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/6b6953c3-625d-4726-997f-e9ee063be572/Parabola_7.jpg How Do You Breathe, Betty? - How Do You Breathe, Betty? 2023.

Answers to this question from the public title the work in "Bound"; each piece is a window into the intimate and complex dialogue between a person and their body. Still, fixed, and benign- “Bound” offers totems to fatness, embodying a dynamic yet balanced neutrality. I consider taboo forms of the body, and challenge the silent power of their semiotics. Viewers are invited to visually acclimate to the paunchy, flabby volumes constricted (or hugged) within their frames. Through them, a nontraditional beauty of the human form is revealed. Its presence saturates your environment with lesser-seen parts of ourselves we may shame, celebrate, mourn, or disregard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873259743-358WLH2M66ITSR99ZPRG/It+Protects+Me_1.JPG Bound (Copy) - It Protects Me (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 27 x 47 x 6 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873224223-1YVSRN5TA0QMPOBLOPZU/Ugh_8.jpg Bound (Copy) - Ugh (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 30 x 21 x 5.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873221250-HMX01DY1PY7MWMGWB7W9/Work+in+Progress_2.jpg Bound (Copy) - It's a Work in Progress (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 22 x 41 x 6 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873231728-RXXTF7SHROH2QLMIXC0E/All+I+See_5.jpg Bound (Copy) - All I See (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 26 x 22 x 6.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873273173-FYT5QNHV58KJTTWZ40DA/Invisible+to+Everyone+3.jpg Bound (Copy) - Invisible to Everyone (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 26 x 26 x 6 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873232375-M6HIHG5U0O3WRH2ULMMS/Close+5.jpg Bound (Copy) - Close (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 22 x 25 x 7 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873248479-1F48ZUIVEDB55YZ06ZY4/Full+of+Contradictions+2.jpg Bound (Copy) - Full of Contradictions (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 51 x 20 x 5.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873249655-HHY9R1ZX8TR13FO4M7UP/I+Like+How+It+Feels%2C+I+Want+It+Gone_4.jpg Bound (Copy) - I Like How It Feels, I Want It Gone (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 44 x 29 x 6.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873272870-HRQ63JYEBYP3RYGOUMP4/It%27s+Just+Flesh_6.JPG Bound (Copy) - It's Just Flesh (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 49 x 25 x 5.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873275389-4ZI4NAD4MJ8X6QMQ5YMX/Not+Sure+How+to+Feel_4.JPG Bound (Copy) - Not Sure How To Feel (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 17 x 33 x 5.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873292368-6UM5PYRK85QYRJJ4U8NN/Out+of+Control_3.jpg Bound (Copy) - Out of Control (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 41 x 15 x 5.5 in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1679873293526-ONT5COH7FIQGCPRHAZPB/Proud+and+Inadequate_11.jpg Bound (Copy) - Proud and Inadequate (Copy) Synthetic fibers, wood, paint. 30 x 21 x 5 in. https://www.eelhoffer.com/selfportrait-in-systems daily 0.75 2023-11-09 https://www.eelhoffer.com/prototypes-movement daily 0.75 2023-11-09 https://www.eelhoffer.com/daily-dose daily 0.75 2024-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1699574375698-XU42ZLJWLJDEZG23KRL9/daily+dose+shot.png Daily Dose https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/1699574374649-FC1JP2370GZ6G9T3FPH4/PXL_20230323_000735695.jpg Daily Dose https://www.eelhoffer.com/itch daily 0.75 2023-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d385da9dd50fb00010d1648/a35dbf7f-d5b0-4459-a4b9-b92d1be0304c/Itch.jpg Itch - Make it stand out Itch, 2022.
