Spring Beginning Painting Project 1: Environment
No full textThis painting was digitized and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in Spring 2018.This is a painting created by Prentiss Smith. It was submitted as part of the first project assigned to the Beginning Painting class of Spring 2018 taught by Carl Moore. This assignment, titled "Environment," required students to complete 20 paintings on a 9 x 12 inch cold press illustration board and two color charts. The "Environment" subject could reference objects from everyday life or a still life that was set up in the studio
"Body-ody-oddy" Opening Reception Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Helen Files and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in December, 2018.This is an image of the opening reception for the Body-ody-oddy exhibition held in the Clough Hanson Gallery on October 26, 2018. The exhibition consisted of artists exploring the body at, against, and beyond its boundaries, creating hybrids, amalgams, and excesses that illuminate the ways that politics and pleasures are made flesh. It featured work by Katie Torn, Alex Paulus, Melissa Wilkinson, and Moth Moth Moth and the Haus of Phantosea.
Alex Paulus commented on his work, stating "My paintings are a representation of how ridiculous I think life can be...I also like to include humor in the work. If my art can make people laugh and feel good, I’ve succeeded. The paintings are usually very bright and bold in color, and the subject matter can be a little bizarre. The use of brightly colored paint seems to curb some the strange imagery and make it more palatable to the viewer."
Melissa Wilkinson commented as well, saying "These series of paintings focus on my interest in dichotomies: obscuring and revealing, attraction and repulsion, good and evil, the past and the present. I appropriate imagery from a variety of sources in order to develop a pastiche that fractures the conventional male gaze and positions art historical models as both subject and spectacle. I choose to dismantle epic narratives from the past to create a schizophrenic perspective. The images break from their original sources into fragments, creating a complex visual experience that both irritates and seduces. It is through this body of work that I seek to challenge the hetero-normative male gaze and reinvent a fluid view that fluctuates between unconventional representations of the erotic body.

"What's Gone With Boy I Wonder" Opening Reception Image
No full textThis digital image was photographed by Helen Files and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in September, 2018.This is an image of the opening reception for Jared Buckheister's exhibition "What’s Gone With That Boy I Wonder".Spanning the last decade, What’s Gone With That Boy I Wonder surveys Jared Buckhiester’s exploration of conflicted desires and the American archetypes that anchor them. This exhibition presents a selection of works inclusive of the artist’s varied and emotionally-invested approach to the medium drawing. Initially an exhibition titled Love Me Tender curated by David Getsy and presented at The Bureau Of General Services Queer Division in the fall of 2017, What’s Gone With That Boy I Wonder expands on its previous incarnation. In the current iteration of this exhibition, photography and sculpture are included alongside drawings, giving a fuller impression of Buckhiester’s working process, while broadening its narrative and conceptual possibilities. There was a lecture for the exhibition on August 30, and the exhibition was held from September 1st to October 7th
Size-based Sorting of Magnetic Microparticles using Patterned Circular Arrays in Variable Magnetic Fields
No full textPresentation by Thomas Cullom ('18), Noah Sanchez ('19), and Robert Raulston ('19) delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).The controlled locomotion of superparamagnetic microparticles is useful for lab-on-chip biomedical devices and sorting heterogeneous particle populations. We have built and refined a low-cost system capable of applying tunable magnetic forces and moving particles of varying
sizes. Controlled locomotion is made possible by patterning micro-sized circular NiFe arrays onto a 1 cm2 silicon chip, generating magnetic traps at the circles' peripheries when external fields are present. The direction of particle motion is determined by pre-programmed sequences of changing magnetic field and input from a joystick, allowing the user to manipulate the
particles in real-time. Particles of varying sizes were used, ranging from 2'm ? 4'm in diameter.
For given field sequences, we have found that each particle has a maximum velocity, dependent
on its size and selected features of the platform, at which it can travel across the array. At higher
velocities, microparticles of differing sizes transverse the circular array at different rates. The particles posess an intrinsic cut-off velocity, dependent on diameter, at which they can no longer
transverse the array. This allows the user to selectively manipulate particles of a particular size, potentially allowing for sorting of the microparticles

"Body-Ody-Oddy" exhibition image
No full textThis digital image was taken by Chip Pankey and uploaded to DLynx by the Visual Resources Center in July 2022.This is an image documenting the "Body-Ody-Oddy" exhibition, which was held in the Clough-Hanson Gallery from October 28 through December 5. This exhibition was a collaboration from artists Alex Paulus, Melissa Wilkinson, Katie Torn, Moth Moth Moth, and the Haus of Phantosea. The exhibition focuses on the boundaries and hybrids which demonstrate the politics and pleasure of the flesh. This exhibition included various media as well as an assortment of clothing and accessories
