Vase
No full textThis object was photographed and inventoried during summer 2019 by Julia Conway ('20) and Bailey Cook ('20) as part of a digital curation fellowship.�Please note that the date issued field refers to the date of the digital object's creation. The temporal coverage field contains date information for the actual physical object, when known.General Description: This is matte black vase. The inside of the vase has a design done in a lighter grey. The top of the vase tapers down and there is a smaller base that it sits on. There is the remains of a sticker on the bottom of the vase.Condition Description: Good conditon

Exploring Linear Relations Among Laurent Coefficients of Certain Hilbert Series
No full textPresentation by Austin Barringer ('19), delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).In [Herbig-Herden-Seaton, arXiv:1605.01572 [math.CO] 2016], the authors considered rational
functions of one variable, t, that satisfy a functional equation h(t). The function is in terms of
integers a and d, where d is the pole order of h(t) at t=1. They found that depending on the value
of r, where r=-(a+d), the coefficients of the Laurent expansion at t=1 satisfy various triangular
linear relations, and so formed structures like that of Pascal's triangle or the Lucas triangle, for
example. In this project, we experimentally investigate the extension of their findings, using a
large collection of functions of two variables t1 and t2 that satisfy an analogous equation. We
explore, using series expansions on Mathematica, whether the two variable functions are
characterized by similar linear constraints (defined iteratively as the Laurent coefficients at t2 = 1 of the Laurent coefficients at t1 = 1). Our results suggest that there do seem to be similar
relations, indicating a possible generalization to this case. Beyond the scope of this project, the
motivation for studying these relations is as follows. By a theorem of R. Stanley, a graded
Cohen-Macaulay domain A, where a is the a-invariant, is Gorenstein if and only if its Hilbert
series satisfies the functional equation given above

AlivePaint Frayser Mural
No full textThis digital image was taken by a member of the Memphis Art Project team during summer 2019. It was uploaded to DLynx during summer 2019 in the Visual Resources Center.Located at Superlo Foods (3327 N Watkins Dr.), this mural by Jamond Bullock (AlivePaint) is part of the Art and Environment Initiative. Art and Environment Initiative is a pilot program in partnership with Mural Arts Institute, Clean Memphis, MMDC, and UAC to address environmental issues in the Frayser and Uptown neighborhoods through public art. Jamond Bullock has been embedded in Frayser since fall 2018 to receive feedback and learn more about the environmental issues identified by residents, which was dumping especially of tires

Marking Memphis: Tracing Memphis History through the T. H. Hayes Ledgers
No full textPresentation by Abbie Norris ('17) and Zaria Jones ('19) delivered at the Digital Preservation and Scholarship Summer symposium.We decided to work together after having similar desires to research common addresses that were referenced within the T. H. Hayes ledgers. Through this project, we attempted to highlight the significance of these highly-referenced hospitals, physicians, cemeteries, and schools. We decided to use the application StoryMap in order to visually represent these locations. We researched addresses and history for the locations, used books and websites to find then pictures of the locations in the early 20th century, and photographed the locations as they appear now. We then Photoshopped the then and now images for a side-by-side comparison and uploaded them to our story map according to their corresponding addresses. This allowed us to shed light on the scope and significance of these underrepresented aspects of Memphis history. While StoryMap helped us achieve this, its image size and layout restrictions on the website proved it to be a useful but limited tool
"Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" Opening Image
No full textThis item was uploaded to DLynx in the Visual Resources Center during the spring of 2019.Erin Harmon’s work dwells in the twilight zone between painting and sculpture. Filled with longing for places that do not actually exist, contradictions flourish with invocations of both the animated and the arrested, the joyful and the staid, the high and the low. Material and processes become sites for fantasy, illusion, and the interplay between flat and not-flat. The vibrant work in "Aggregate Optics of Make-A-Do" tinkers with scale to produce environments that we can project ourselves into as landscapes, even while confronting their qualities of un-nature.
Borne from Harmon’s previous body of painted paper collages, her new work is influenced by techniques common to theatrical painters, a lineage of shapes and images become a trail of breadcrumbs from one idea to another. These materials are scoured, drawn, painted, cut, and recycled over time, one idea begetting another, endlessly self-generating. Whether it be through ceramic, painted muslin, or projection animation (a collaborative video in which Harmon’s gouache-on-paper cut-outs have been animated by artist and musician Kyle Statham), the finished works encapsulate a romance with materials and processes
