Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Isaac Newton has the market cornered on early physics genius, but his formidable contributions to science are rarely mentioned in the same breath as art. Sculptor David Young, who draws a bit of artistic inspiration from Newton, recently had his own apple-on-the-head moment. “I’ve always loved taking things apart, and been fascinated with the way science attempts to describe the world,” he says. “Eventually, I learned to put things back together, literally.”
Young’s exhibit “Unknown Object-ive” features artwork that combines found objects, cast brass and aluminum spheres, and electrical motors to render scientific principles — Newton’s laws of motion, for example — in kinetic sculptural form.
