Yanke Doodle, Tim Yanke

The spring after the tragic events of 9/11/01, Tim and his son went through the process of erecting a flagpole in their backyard to proudly display their American flag as a remembrance to all those lost and a show of their patriotism as a family. He felt that this raw, beautiful, organic act was a precious moment with his son. Erecting that flagpole gave him the inspiration to create the first Yanke Doodle. He started to play with non-traditional colors for the flag, each representing the different cultures, countries and communities who had come to find a home in America. To this day, the American flag waves proudly at his home. 2016 19 1/2" x 31" Dye sublimation on aluminum.
