Christine Elfman makes photographs that combine stillness with change, intimacy with distance, visibility with the unknown. Many of her images are made out of their own disappearance and cannot be fixed. She received her MFA from California College of the Arts, and BFA from Cornell University. Solo shows include Houston Center for Photography, Texas; Penumbra Foundation, New York; TILT Center for the Contemporary Image; Philadelphia; University of the Arts; Philadelphia; Gallery Wendi Norris, San Francisco; and EUQINOM Gallery, San Francisco which represents her work. 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 is Assistant Professor of Studio Art and Book Arts at Wells College in Aurora, New York.
