JeanElle Hoopes is from Wyoming, US, and is an interdisciplinary animator and photographic artist currently studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for their BFA. Their work primarily concerns the physical processes of media, using both the concepts and material realities of destruction and the end of life. Their practice is materially based, emphasizing the attributes of the mediums used and utilizing intuitive motions specific to said mediums. As a fan of horror, much of their work includes discomforting imagery and movement with the goal of unsettling the viewer.
