'In Flux' is a permanent public art sculpture created by artists, Matt Rink and Bland Hoke. This piece was constructed using 39 decommissioned lamp posts. Hoke and Rink call their piece “a constantly evolving work that adapts to its current landscape.” Since 2006 they have focused on creating a body of work utilizing 100 decommissioned lamp poles. Originally a part of the second installment of the Art in Roanoke (AIR) temporary exhibition from September 2010 to March 2012, "In Flux" became a permanent installation in 2012. This sculpture is located in Vic Thomas Park, which lies along the Roanoke River Greenway.
