The 10-minute video, an animation of over 25 still images of the Gulf Coast landscape, was created using pinhole cameras and other experimental techniques. The project was originally created for The Corpus Cristi Port Authority Building in TX. Audio was recently added in collaboration with Sherman Finch. We are looking forward to sharing this work with an international audience!

On the Breath of a Forest (detail from installation) featured in the exhibition “Embodied Forest”, 2021
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.
Virtual Opening Reception and Artists Talks: TBA

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
