    A ceramist, sculptor, and self-proclaimed "mad scientist," Bailey aims to surprise and delight with his art. This exhibition presents the full range of his inspired eccentricity in clay and metal, including his early ceramic critters, signature "exploding pots," life-sized robot sculptures, and ray guns realized from discarded aluminum. Also included are Bailey's pseudo-scientific discoveries, including proof of "Big Foot" and ceramic fossils from the "Bone Age," made under the name of his scientific alter-ego, Dr. George Gladstone.

    Visitors to the exhibition will also experience the artist's fully realized environments, including his backyard "Kaolithic" discoveries and mockumentary "Museum of Wonders" from his home in the Bay Area. In all, 180 works and complementary ephemera span 50 years of Bailey's prodigious production of genuine marvels.
