Good Luck with the Sun: The word “luck” is often used when talking about sunny days or meteorological conditions.No matter where we are located geographically, climate is critical to survival, and every day,we are at the mercy of what the weather delivers. Luck is also an important factor in Krista Steinke’s recent body of work Good Luck with the Sun, where trial and error, chance, and imperfection become part of her photographic process. With the use of homemade pinhole cameras and other unconventional techniques, Steinke approaches the sun as both her subject and creative tool, creating a unique relationship between content and form. Her work sets out to reflect upon our desire to connect with the natural world and photography’s unique role in mediating that experience. Relationships emerge between time and space, light and dark, micro and macro, and the personal and the universal,inviting viewers to consider how our presence fits into the scope of the greater universe.
