Eugene Ellenberg is an interdisciplinary artist and writer currently based in South Carolina. His practice navigates acceptance, contention, and failure with what it means to be present. His works incorporate image-based media including pinhole photographs which are exposed for the duration of a gesture, ritual, or natural occurrence while his installation/sculptural works utilize ready-made, labor related objects such as parachutes, flashlights, and reflectors to explore parallels of search and rescue with mental illness and recovery. He received his MFA from the University of New Mexico, and his BFA from Clemson University. He was previously an instructor of photography at the University of South Carolina and Coastal Carolina University. He is currently pursuing studies and practice in expressive arts therapies.
