"The framework supports the skin," Yanko says, "and the metal becomes the composition that the skin responds to. There's this play on how they interact and respond to each other. I'm fascinated with paradox, and seeming opposites, when actually they are so dependent on each other.

Kennedy Yanko is a sculptor who searches salvage yards for cast-off materials-such as copper, marble, and tin-that she then combines with paint skins. These skins, her signature medium, allow her to use paint not only for its color, but as a structural material; they imbue her sculptures with vivid hues, organic shapes, and smooth textures, and stand in contrast to the industrial, manufactured components with which they are joined.
