• Alternative Photographic Processes
• Anthotype Process
• +۶ مورد دیگر

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.

A registered architect and award-winning researcher, her work bridges academic scholarship, architectural practice, and creative exhibition, with a focus on urban transformation, historical contexts, and honoring the built environment through innovative design processes. Her academic credentials include: Doctor of Philosophy, RMIT University Bachelor of Environmental Design, University of Western Australia Bachelor of Architecture (Honours), University of Western Australia George's research interrogates architecture's role in the Anthropocene, emphasizing cartographic processes for generating place-specific urban propositions and the power of architectural communication through drawing, writing, and dialogue. She investigates how architects can address climate challenges and housing crises through lateral thinking rather than problem-solving, with particular focus on collaborative drawing practices, urban distinctiveness, and the ethical obligations of architecture toward ecological systems. Her work consistently explores the beauty in architectural process—from conceptual sketches to spatial realizations—and the potential for drawing to cultivate empathy and shared understanding in design. Analysis of her recent publications reveals dominant trends in ecological empathy through drawing practices, historical analysis of architectural representation (particularly axonometry and paraline projection), and critical examinations of architectural movements like Brutalism. Her scholarship consistently connects theoretical frameworks with practical applications, examining how spatial interventions—from residential renovations to urban voids—can foster community resilience and address contemporary challenges like pandemic-era habitat reconfiguration. Her scientific recognition includes: Peter Overman Award for Residential Architecture – Houses (Alterations and Additions) in the 2020 WA Architecture Awards for the Reed House project, which balanced historical dignity with modern materiality George actively supervises doctoral research as co-supervisor for two current PhD candidates exploring ritual cartographies and perceptual worlds, building on her supervision of two completed PhD projects on Aboriginal living environments and locative technology. Her research is supported by grants including the $45,000 Wonnarua Place Project (2021-2022) with Maitland City Council, focusing on place-making in post-industrial contexts. As a sole practitioner, she transforms disused urban infrastructure and historic buildings, exemplified by her business matching empty spaces with creative tenants to revitalize ailing urban realms. She collaborates extensively with researchers like Michael Chapman on drawing-based projects, community groups on urban revitalization initiatives, and councils on resilience planning. Her current work investigates voided territories in Newcastle and global post-industrial city resilience, often materializing through exhibitions like Commonplace and Projective Cast that demonstrate how collaborative drawing practices can generate shared spatial understanding and attunement.
