Marina Jacob

What am I interested in?
In changes.
Change in the body of materials in my hands. Changes in the society, in the nature, in the delicate fabric of the human relationships.

In materials and in the heavy baggage they inherited.
In being aware of it, looking into it closely, shuffling and finding new combinations of materials, freeing, giving them a new meaning.

In playing with biomorphic and geometric forms, bringing them together. In formal qualities of works, in meaning, in form of meaning, in aesthetic, in anti-aesthetic, in symbiosis.
In meditating. Making. Learning. Protesting. Feeling. Worrying. Finding balance.

Balance of thinking and making. Of philosophy and action.
In sculpture as a shortcut between energy and matter.

Seeing social through the lens of individual
Believing.
In the starry sky above us and the moral law within us. In agency above structure, in oneness above alienation.
That unique and individual as an Alpha and Omega of every social and political change. In imagination, mistakes, intuition, hard work. In being as a piece of art. In being a piece of art. In us.
