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.

"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.

Environmental Threats facing Lake Baikal
No full textPresentation by Alisa Redding ('18) delivered at the Rhodes College Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Symposium (URCAS).Reaching a depth of 5,580 feet and estimated to be 25 million years old, Lake Baikal, located in Siberia, is regarded as the oldest and deepest lake on earth. Lake Baikal holds 20% of the world's freshwater and is therefore of extreme value to environmental and human life. The lake is home to hundreds of endemic species of animals and plants, most notable of which, is the copepod, Epischura baicalensis, that works as a filtration system in the lake's water to keep it clean. However, in recent years, the lake has begun to suffer from the effects of improper waste disposal, urban/industrial development, and deforestation. In 2014, 1,500 metric tons of algae washed up onto the shores of Lake Baikal, indicating a rise in eutrophication and fecal contamination. Using the program, ArcGIS 10.2.2, four different raster projections highlight distinct issues impacting the lake, and where their influence is concentrated
