The longer one stares, the more one sees. —Sarah Gottesdiener
The things that are learned, that you carry with you after school is over, are like a virus that mutates as you do other work. It doesn’t stay the same. —Lorraine Wild
These are not obedient works, they break rules, they misbehave, and sometimes they are an unruly mess. —Michael Worthington
Work that breaks every convention due to a highly personal exploration of methodologies and processes. —Ian Lynam
The posters were meant to be more of an experimental practice, a hybrid of a real project with academic exploration. —Ed Fella
The visual language was foreign to me, unlike anything I had ever seen. I both loved and hated it. —Jennifer McKnight
