Jayson Zaleski is an artist, designer, educator, and researcher. His interest lies in remixing the fundamental attributes of typography as a generative process for making. His reworking of the relationships between letterform structure, kerning standards, and grid systems appropriate, dismantle, and recombine line and counterform into new combinations. His works are produced using everyday tools and materials: notebooks, paper, and fine tip felt pens. His motivation extends from an interest in reframing the outcomes of design by challenging its focus on communication. His passion lies in developing extensive bodies of work — similar to how branding platforms and business infrastructure is designed — that function as ecosystems through the use of visual languages. Within this form of making, the only differentiation separating design and art are made implicit through their innate intentions and manipulations of visual content.
