Matt Bailey Quotations

Imagine the Sistine Chapel with just one or two figures on the ceiling.

We are returning a lot of starters from last year, and we have big expectations. We still have a tough schedule ahead, and we are going to have to pick it up even more.

While much of the work is made from the traditional media of painting, sculpture and photography, other work is very nontraditional in particular those submissions by grad students in the sciences that were done as a part of professional development, such as photographs of spinal cords, reproductions of microscopic views or sculptural models of electrical coils.

We conceived the exhibit as a chance to display the various kinds of creative process graduate students at Washington U. engage in. Some of their work was done as part of professional development; other work was created in the student's spare time for a therapeutic release from the usual routine of course work and research.

I knew it was going to be a battle. He was a real tough kid. Thankfully, I came out with the win.

Hopefully we'll never find out. That's my goal.
