ARTIST’S BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT: Jacob Kulin
I am a Boston-based sculptor of Danish heritage with a longstanding admiration for Scandinavian design. I graduated from Skidmore College and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art. I currently work on private, corporate and public commissions internationally.
My creative pursuits began with metalsmithing, using jewelry as a means of exploring precise fabrication, attention to detail, and a melding of materials. (Click here to view jewelry from this period). Interest in the repetitive components of jewelry led to my current direction designing and constructing wall-mounted and freestanding sculpture.
The interplay of materials continues to be a primary focus for my work. While metal and wood are favored, I also use glass, steel and other media. Recently, I have designed and fabricated unique home furnishings, specifically tables that blend metal, glass, and reclaimed hardwoods. These modern pieces maintain a sculptural quality and allow functional use.
I strive to integrate the perfection of nature into the overall compositions of my work. From driftwood found on the coastlines of Denmark to aging trees in Boston’s forests, my sculpture reflects a deep-rooted connection to natural forms.
