CHRISTINE ELFMAN

Christine Elfman is an artist who makes images that relate stillness with change, clarity with ambiguity, intention with chance. She uses photographic and other experimental processes in which the image is understood to have agency, with subject matter acting as its own medium, refusing to be fixed or resolved.  Elfman’s work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Penumbra Foundation in New York, Houston Center for Photography, TILT Center for the Contemporary Image and University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Gallery Wendi Norris in San Francisco; as well as at Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, Photo London, and Oigall Projects in Australia.  She is represented by EUQINOM Gallery in San Francisco.  Her photographs have appeared in publications such as BOMB Magazine, 1000words, The San Francisco Chronicle, Photograph Magazine, and Der Greif. She has been awarded a Light Work Grant in Photography, San Francisco Artist Award, and residencies at the Penumbra Foundation, Cape Cod National Seashore, and Saltonstall Foundation.  She received her BFA from Cornell University in 2004 and MFA from California College of the Arts in 2012.  Elfman currently teaches at Cornell University and Ithaca College, and previously taught at San Francisco Art Institute, California College of the Arts, Bowdoin College, International Center of Photography, and as Assistant Professor of Studio Art and Book Arts at Wells College.
