BIO

CAROL GOLEMBOSKI

Carol Golemboski uses antiquated objects as metaphors in carefully staged scenes. Her creative process, defined by the use of black and white film, expired photographic materials, and alternative darkroom printing, combines photography, drawing, and photograms in ambiguous and provocative ways. Her psychologically charged still life images draw upon past eras to suggest the continuum of human anxieties and emotions.

For commissions, workshops, exhibitions or lectures, please contact Carol.

Golemboski received an MFA in Photography from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1999 and an MA in Art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1996. She has been the recipient of grants and fellowships from Center in Santa Fe, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Light Work, and the Saltonstall Foundation. Her interactive artist’s book Psychometry was selected as one of the twelve Outstanding Books of the Year in 2013 by the Independent Publisher Book Awards. A monograph of the same name was published by Flash Powder Projects in 2016. Her photographs can be found in the collections of the George Eastman Museum, the Denver Art Museum, and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. She is a Professor of Photography at the University of Colorado Denver.
