Summary

In the 48th episode of Perceived Value, host Sarah Rachel Brown is in Richmond, VA with metalsmith Jaydan Moore. The two artists are no strangers, having met at the Penland School Of Crafts while Sarah was a Core Fellow and Jaydan was an artist in residence. The two friends sit down to catch up and discuss what life is like for Jaydan since he made the conscious decision to stop pursuing long-term residencies and create a life for himself in Richmond. This extra-long episode touches on all sorts of topics: oil can infatuation, the perks of working at Trader Joe’s, Karl the cat and how one stumbles upon some serious gallery representation.

Episode Description

Jaydan was born into a family of fourth generation tombstone makers in California. Most of his childhood was largely spent at the family business, which doubled as a rental storage space; where he would rummage through other peoples objects, and listen to families making arrangements for their loved ones. It is these experiences that made him value the heirlooms and objects we choose to use as markers for significant moments.

His career began as an undergraduate student at California College of the Arts, in Oakland and received his MFA and MA from University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Jaydan has furthered his career through generous opportunities as an artist in residence at Penland School of Crafts, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, and a Fountainhead Fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth Universities Craft/Material Studies Program. He has received grants through the American Craft Councils Emerging Voices Program, North Carolina Arts Fellowship, and the Peter S. Reed Foundation. He has shown in recent exhibitions at Design/Miami (FL), Basel (SWI), Cheongju Craft Biennale (South Korea), Museum of Craft and Design (CA), Racine Art Museum (WI), Fuller Craft Museum (MA), and the Center for Craft, Creativity, and Design (NC). He has also held teaching appointments at Rhode Island School of Design, Virginia Commonwealth University in the Craft Materials Studies Program, California College of the Arts, and Penland School of Crafts.

Jaydan is represented by Ornamentum Gallery (NY).
