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.
Danielle Foushée is Associate Professor and Program Head of Interdisciplinary Design at Arizona State University. Her creative work has been exhibited and/or installed in Seattle, Bellevue, Portland, Vancouver, Reno, Baltimore, and Tempe, among others. Prof. Foushée has won national and international awards for her work, most recently the Mayor’s Art Award for Community Innovation in the City of Phoenix, Arizona. She has also served as a member of the Phoenix Arts & Culture Commission.
Her work considers the ways in which meaning-making and personal identity are often generated by the (more or less intentional) juxtaposition of fragments that intermingle in both public and private contexts.
