My short film “Time Scraps” will be featured at the 2021 Flatland Film Festival, a program of LHUCA that aims to cultivate an appreciation for film, video, and the digital moving-image expression and to support artists working in this mode of expression.
PERSIST RESIST COEXIST is a group exhibition celebrating women rights. My work on view is from a new series called “Time Scraps from the Universe”, where I am repurposing old photo projects, materials, and scraps from my studio to make new works in collage, stop-frame animation, and installation. Through the act of self-reflection and connecting common threads, I am thinking about creativity as an iterative loop or spiral, in which recontextualizing the past can foster reinvention or forge alternative pathways. The small pieces in the show function as sketches for potential larger works.

Studio 1 at CASP presents: ‘Sun’ – the third of four exhibitions to focus on vital resources of the South Plains. For this exhibition, all projects focus on harnessing the sun – as energy, as medium, and as a dialogue. ‘Sun’ brings together art objects, modular solar panel kits, and floating habitat workspaces, as a means to approach an interdisciplinary engagement with this vital resource. Participants and speakers come from varying backgrounds in engineering (Tim Dallas, TTU), visual art (Carol Flueckiger, Andrew Lawson and Krista Steinke) and architecture (Chris Taylor).
Humans have used symbols of earth, fire, water, and air for millennia, using them as metaphors to communicate universal ideals and truths about the world in which we live. This exhibition dives into a variety of contemporary practices that continue to express our awe, reverence, and dependence on two of the four Aristotelian elements, in unexpected and dynamic ways.
Artists in the show include:
Becky Alley
Miya Ando
Deidre Argyle
Julie Comnick
Natalie Moore
LeeAnna Repass
Aaron Thomas Roth
Kelly Wagner Steinke
Krista Steinke

“These spectacular images of the sun and sky captured with homemade pinhole cameras reveal more about us than celestial objects”

“Sun Notations is an experimental video created by animating over 50 still pinhole photographs. The original photographs capture the pathway of the sun rising and setting over time, using exposures that last one day to an entire year. Sound by Matthew Steinke. Production Assistants: Ashley Lane and Annie Sungkajun.

The word “luck” is often used when talking about sunny days or meteorological conditions. No matter where one is located geographically, the climate is critical to survival, and every day, we are at the mercy of what the weather delivers to us. Luck is also an important factor in Krista Steinke’s recent body of work, where trial and error, chance, and imperfection become part of her photographic inquiry. Using homemade pinhole cameras, extended multiple exposures, and other unconventional techniques, Steinke explores our greatest energy source – the sun and photography’s unique role in how we engage with the planet’s closest star. Relationships emerge between time and space, light and dark, micro and macro, and the personal and the universal.
