CHRISTINE ELFMAN (MFA California College of the Arts, BFA Cornell University) is an artist who makes images that combine stillness with change, clarity with ambiguity, intention with chance.  She uses photographic processes in which the subject matter acts as its own medium to make images that slowly shift in meaning and form over time.  Elfman’s recent solo exhibitions include Penumbra Foundation in New York, Houston Center for Photography, TILT Center for the Contemporary Image and University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Handwerker Gallery at Ithaca College, Gallery Wendi Norris and EUQINOM Gallery in San Francisco.  Her photographs have been featured 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 and residencies at the Penumbra Foundation, Constance Saltonstall Foundation, and the Cape Cod National Seashore.  Elfman has worked with historic photography collections at the George Eastman Museum and Berkeley Art Museum, and has taught photography at San Francisco Art Institute, California College of the Arts, Cornell University, Bowdoin College, and Wells College.
