Allison Laytin Dalton is a professor at Art Center College of Design, where she teaches creative project-writing and supports students’ writing and research practices. The book-like things she makes begin with collection, repetition, and the hand; they end as parti-diagrams of her own writing, making, and design. Her tabloid publication Repeat the Question, a reframing of century-old gendered cultural production and the verbal/visual lexicon it still perpetuates, was acquired by the Getty Research Institute in November 2023. She has a fiction MFA from Columbia University and an undergrad degree in Creative Writing from UC Santa Cruz.
