Profile
Accomplished sculptor and metalsmith, Jacob works on private, corporate and public commissions internationally ranging from smaller residential pieces to grand outdoor sculptures for commercial and public spaces. As a Boston-based sculptor of Danish heritage, his long-standing admiration for Scandinavian design has influenced his creative pursuits. The interplay of material remains a primary focus as he strives to integrate the perfection of nature into most of his works and feels a deep-rooted connection to natural forms. His approach to public sculpture begins by understanding the desires of the community while having collaborative dialogue with all agencies involved. His process includes learning about the space for which a sculpture is intended to fully understand the visual and physical impact of the design.
