Ellie Rae Hunter (b. 1989) is a visual artist working primarily in sculpture. Hunter locates her work inside spaces where bodies are heavily scrutinized, exploring the ways in which societal expectations are absorbed by our bodies and impact our everyday lives and anxieties. She infuses institutional scaffoldings with fantastical scenarios to propose new realities. Hunter received her MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University where she was the recipient of the VCU Graduate Thesis Grant. She has participated in residencies including Triangle, New York; Shandaken: Storm King, New York; Interstate Projects, New York; Rupert, Lithuania; and Ox-Bow, Michigan. She has recently exhibited at Lower_Cavity, Massachusetts; Sara's, New York; Almanac Projects, Italy; Loggia, Austria; and Kunsthalle Bratislava, Slovakia. Hunter lives and works in New York, NY.
