Color Portals
Color portals features the collective work of 30 University of Arkansas School of Art Foundations students.
Their work is an exploration of color, light, perception and material. Each color of light has a wavelength that affects our psychology and physiology.
What better way to reflect on color than through the filtered light of stained glass
These “stained glass” works spawned from a previous color study collage. Each artist worked to translate their previous collage into a new medium as well as a new color scheme.

Platonia
Platonia is an environment where *Platonic Solids can be free to aggregate in peace and tranquility—to highlight a harmonious symbiosis of symmetry and asymmetry.
*Platonic Solids, five in existence, are convex, regular polyhedron in three-dimensional space. The faces of each platonic solid are congruent or identical in shape and size. Being regular polygons also means that all angles and edges of the unique solids are congruent, and all have the same number of faces meeting at each vertex.
The installation is a joint effort between the boutique design studio Foundation9 (fdn9.com), Artist Taylor Loftin, and all the students of the Fay Jones School of Architecture & Design Interior Architecture & Design Fall 2023 Foundations Studio.

Tree (Untitled)
Created using scale model materials that one might find in a model train set, Tree (Untitled) depicts a tree blowing in the wind in the peaceful abyss of an idyllic field. The tree secluded in its environment creates a calming stillness evoking a sense of connection to place through its study groundedness. This study tree’s performance is contrasted with the nature of the size of scale models. Barnes’ tree is animated with the help of his father who supplies the environment with its steady gust of wind that slowly rattles the tree’s vibrant green leaves. The video, filmed with a high frame rate is then slowed down to give us the illusion of a calming breeze. The work is projected through a window one the second floor of a residential dwelling overlooking Fayetteville’s Razorback road. A popular entry and exit point between the city and the Boston Mountains to the south.

In the early 1990s, my grandparents planted thousands of loblolly pines and cedar trees on a small farm outside of Jackson, Mississippi. Today, I find the landscape embedded with apparitions of past selves. For me, pushing into a painting’s surface is an exercise in traversing psychological thresholds. Memories gather, forming poetic atmospheres of collapsed familial timelines. As a vehicle for self-investigation, painting allows me the opportunity to re-examine my relationship to family, masculinity, religion and spirituality, regional traditions, and art in service of a more intentional future.
