ARTIST BIO
Pam Korman is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the construction of selfhood through the influence of maternal lineage. Through sculpture, installation, photo and time-based media, she traces lingering connections, subtle patterns, and the weight of legacy.
Korman has been prominently featured in film festivals and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally, including Paris Film Festival, Stockholm City Film Festival and New York Center for Photographic Art New York, NY. She has also garnered recognition in publications such as Rangefinder Magazine, One Twenty-Five Magazine, and Click Magazine. Her work can be viewed in public collections at University of Pennsylvania Health System and Ventnor City Hall, Ventnor, New Jersey. In addition to her studio practice, Korman shares her knowledge and expertise as an educator, designing and leading photography workshops both publicly and privately.
She was a committee member of the Costumes and Textiles Department (2020-2022) and the Prints, Drawings, and Photographs Department (2022-2025) at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Korman has a BA in Journalism and is a recent MFA graduate from Maine Media College. In 2025, she participated in ShowTown at Ice Box Project Space in Philadelphia. Her installation If These Shadows Could Talk, They Would Probably Complain included dozens of hand-crocheted doilies hung on long pins like specimens. Bright green, criss-crossing light on the doilies cast a field of magenta shadows across the space. Her video Peas played face-up on a low platform and featured a set of hands moving frozen peas from a pile into a glass bowl. In February, she will install The Weight of Ghosts, a solo exhibition at AUTOMAT Gallery in Philadelphia. The exhibition will include sculptural installations, light sculpture and experimental videos. She lives and works in the Philadelphia metropolitan area.
