Jaydan’s work is motivated by how an object moves through the world, changing in meaning as it is passed down, and how it is cherished as its significance grows. This history of objects has led to his continued exploration of our culture’s heirlooms. Jaydan’s career began as an undergraduate student at California College of the Arts and received his MFA and MA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He furthered his career through artist in residencies at Penland School of Crafts, Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, Kohler Arts/Industry, and a fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University. His work is in the permanent collections of the Carnegie Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston, and Honolulu Museum of Art.
