First created in 1992 as a hand-worked wax maquette for an open competition (the second of two) hosted by Scottsdale, Arizona, Jack Knife is Ed Mell’s most iconic bronze. The Phoenix painter won the competition and a monument of Jack Knife was installed in 1993 in the roundabout at Marshall Way and Main Street. “Jack Knife has a reverence for the Old West,” the artist wrote in Beyond the Visible Terrain: The Art of Ed Mell. “It is not traditional, but yet it has a traditional theme. The angularity accelerates the power and energy of the rider and horse, more than accurate depiction.”
