At the McNay Art Museum, Jennifer Steinkamp's newest work created in 2015 is now showing with the title 'Jennifer Steinkamp: Botanic 3'. It will last until next year.

Her work features flowering plants animated inside a cubic framework that utilizes the outer edge of the video as a container, mimicking the boundaries of a garden. Flowers are blown by an unseen force, as plants collide both with each other and the edges of the frame, breaking apart into seeds, twigs, leaves, and petals. The animations loop forward and back—transitioning between breaking apart and coming back together—eliminating any notion of narrative, as is characteristic in Steinkamp’s work.
