Jacob values the importance of his hands in making work and views manual intelligence as distinct from both thoughts and tools. He often begins by using materials that can be used and understood intuitively. By using basic building blocks such as grids, patterns or colour combinations that serve the structure of the work, Jacob aims to create fused metaphors – art that can be made and experienced as a whole.
