IN FLUX In Depth with John David Yanke
Phoenix-based artist John David Yanke created three sculptures for IN FLUX Cycle 9. Secondary Effusion, Stored Echoes, and To Atone are all located at the northern end of Miller Plaza, a commercial center on the northeast corner of Miller Road and Indian School Road in Scottsdale.
The three colorful Yanke pieces complement each other with the two spring-based creations, Secondary Effusion and Stored Echoes, framing a more traditional sculpture, To Atone. For Secondary Effusion, Yanke used mattress spring units with water-based enamel, and for Stored Echoes, he used coil springs and spiral wire with water-based enamel. To Atone was created with marine-grade plywood and water-based enamel.
“I enjoy recycling the original intent within the designs in order to reveal the beauty of the design,” Yanke said. “This happens both through the use of vibrant hues, whose value and intensity appear to change with ambient lighting, and the overall configuration, which produces ever-changing, intriguing shadows.”
