Jacob Wallett is an artist and carpenter from London living in The Hague. His sculptures, sometimes with moving parts, often involve painstakingly crafted elements alongside found objects. He is interested in how knowledge makes the living appear. His practice is informed by a scientific education – one that understands poetics in terms of underlying physical relations – and by his ongoing work in building and construction.

Jacob is a member of Patch, an interdisciplinary studio in The Hague, and of Livingmaps Network.

Alongside his artistic practice he produces commissions as a carpenter and builder for artists and institutions, building furniture, sets, objects and doing renovation work. Recent clients include Huis van het Boek, Page Not Found, Sébastien Robert, KABK, InnerWood
