Duigenan currently lives and works in London where she grew up. In 1986 she received her BA in Art/Art History at Goldsmiths College at the University of London. Her photography focuses on mundane objects that are familiar to her viewers. Usually she takes these discarded subjects and places them in environments that allow transformations to occur. "Her work invariably has an air of mystery and ambiguity which is often heightened when subjects are placed in a particular light or landscape." Elaine has had over 8 solo shows and has been published multiple times including in AG Photography Magazine. Her recent series Net was featured in an edition of LensCulture.
"For me photography has become an 'act of preservation' and objects I focus on become the locators or igniters of memory. The traces and remnants we find in any landscape can spark recognition. They can even invoke a presence." - Duigenan
