On the campus of the University of Indianapolis and south of the Schwitzer Student Center  stands the stone­ware sculpture Modular Tower, by Barry Barnes. This work is the result of a spontane­ous approach to the ceramic surface. Each modular block is approached as an indi­vidual “canvas” investigation—a collage of textures, line, shape, pattern, color, and recognizable images. Engobes and underglazes are layered on stoneware clay and fired to cone 7 in oxidation. Barnes has a BFA in ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from Arizona State University. He owns a private studio, Beech Grove Clayworks, for working and teaching. He also teaches ceramics at Vincennes University.
