Lee Jensen 
Jensen trawls the history of typography and design for the forms and symbols that make up his work. He is inspired by print ephemera, what he calls ‘the dust of design’. He currently lectures in the Institute of Communication Design at Massey University, Wellington.
“Ornament, like dust, is what remains, a reminder of past fancies forgotten; and not just ill-remembered, but abandoned, like a child at a fair, youthful cupidity, print ephemera, old pornography in a cupboard”.
