Christine Elfman is a Lecturer in Media Arts, Sciences and Studies at the Roy H. Park School of Communications, Ithaca College. An artist whose work explores the tension between stillness and change, clarity and ambiguity, she creates photographic images that slowly shift in meaning and form over time through processes where the subject matter acts as its own medium. Her educational background includes an MFA from California College of the Arts and a BFA from Cornell University. Elfman's research focuses on alternative photographic processes, particularly anthotype techniques using natural dyes from plants and lichen. Her work investigates how photographic images can embody the ephemeral nature of memory and time, with many pieces designed to fade gradually when exposed to light. She explores the historical tension in photography between the desire to fix images permanently and the reality of their inevitable transformation. Her practice bridges traditional darkroom techniques with contemporary conceptual approaches, creating works that challenge photography's association with permanence through slow, month-long exposures and fugitive materials. Her recent exhibitions include 'dust to dust' at Houston Center for Photography (2023), 'All solid shapes dissolve in light' at EUQINOM Gallery (2022), and 'Hold Fast' at Penumbra Foundation (2021), featuring works that explore geological forms, rock formations, and the slow transformation of natural materials through lichen dye anthotypes. Light Work Grant in Photography Penumbra Foundation Residency Constance Saltonstall Foundation Residency Cape Cod National Seashore Residency Elfman has taught photography at multiple institutions including San Francisco Art Institute, California College of the Arts, Cornell University, Bowdoin College, and Wells College. Her work has been featured in prominent publications such as BOMB Magazine, 1000words, The San Francisco Chronicle, Photograph Magazine, and Der Greif. She has worked with historic photography collections at the George Eastman Museum and Berkeley Art Museum, bringing this historical perspective to her contemporary practice. Her artistic practice involves creating contact prints using lichen-dyed paper exposed to sunlight for weeks or months, with the resulting images continuing to fade when exhibited, embodying her exploration of time, memory, and impermanence in a direct material form.

Christine Elfman is a Visiting Critic in the Department of Art at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. She is also a practicing artist based in Ithaca, New York, with a strong presence in contemporary photography and interdisciplinary art. Her work explores the tension between permanence and ephemerality through experimental photographic processes, particularly anthotypes using plant-based dyes. B.F.A., Cornell University (2004) M.F.A., California College of the Arts (2012) Elfman’s research centers on the materiality of images, the history of photography, and the philosophical implications of visual representation. Her practice combines drawing, collaborative work, and ephemeral art to investigate how memory, time, and change shape our perception. She uses processes like long-exposure solar printing and resin-coated anthotypes to create works that evolve and fade over time, reflecting on the instability of knowledge and recollection. Her recent exhibitions, such as All solid shapes dissolve in light (2022) and dust to dust (2023), demonstrate a consistent thematic focus on decay, transformation, and the liminal space between visibility and disappearance. These works often incorporate natural elements like lichen, sunlight, and rock formations, blurring the boundaries between photography, sculpture, and environmental art. Light Work Grant in Photography (2020) Cape Cod National Seashore Artist Residency (2022) Penumbra Foundation Workspace Residency (2020) Philadelphia Photo Arts Center Award (2017) Saltonstall Foundation Residency (2009) Elfman has taught at Ithaca College, San Francisco Art Institute, California College of the Arts, Bowdoin College, International Center of Photography, and served as Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Wells College. While she mentors students through studio instruction and critiques, no formal graduate advisees are listed. She has not received major external grants beyond residency fellowships, but her artistic contributions are widely recognized in both academic and gallery contexts. Her work is represented by EUQINOM Gallery in San Francisco, and she maintains an active exhibition and publication record in journals such as BOMB , 1000words , and Der Greif . She does not appear to lead a formal lab or research team, but her studio practice functions as a space for material experimentation and conceptual development.
