John Steck Jr. is a visual artist and educator who resides in Baltimore, MD. He is a first-generation graduate who received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute (R.I.P), and his BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design. Steck has been a college educator for eight years and is currently the Photography Coordinator for the Center of Visual Arts at Johns Hopkins University.
In his artistic practice, Steck is a maker of photographic images and ephemeral objects. Using light-sensitive emulsions, he creates photographs that both fade and form over time. This work addresses our complex relationship with time, memory, and impermanence.
