From Angela Riechers article for the SVA Visual Arts Journal:
Marc Yankus (BFA 1981 Illustration) uses a combination of photography and digital manipulation (including an effect he refers to as a “cloud sandwich” — more on that later) to create dramatic portraits of city buildings rich with a sense of history and the dreamlike quality of memory. Yankus’ compositions present his structures as massive, brooding entities even as he directs a viewer’s attention to cracks, crevices, and such details as the ghostly remnants of long-demolished staircases.
