About the Artist:

Christine Elfman is a visual artist who makes photographs out of their own disappearance, to see how the desire for pictorial permanence gives way to change and the invisible. She received her MFA from California College of the Arts, and BFA from Cornell University. Elfman’s interest in ephemerality has been influenced by her work with historic collections at the George Eastman House, University of Rochester Rare Books Library, and the Berkeley Art Museum. This summer she will be exhibiting unfixed photographs at the Penumbra Project Space in collaboration with photograph conservator, Luisa Casella. Recent awards include a 2020 Light Work Grant in Photography, 2020 Penumbra Foundation Workspace Residency, and the 2017 Philadelphia Photo Arts Center Exhibition. Her work has appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle, Photograph Magazine, Der Greif, Humble Arts Foundation, SF Weekly, and The Photo Review. Elfman has taught art most recently at Bowdoin College, Cornell University, and San Francisco Art Institute. She is represented by Euqinom Gallery, San Francisco, where she will have a solo exhibition of new work in winter 2021.
