About me..

 

 

Hi, I’m Sacha Jacobsen.

I make things because it makes me happy.

I’m a mum to three kids, I love nature and getting my hands dirty. I don’t like busy places.

My making practice began in 2010 with jewellery, which slowly evolved into kinetic mobiles. A recent late ADHD diagnosis finally explained what I’d always suspected — that I’m not built for conventional work, and that’s okay. Creating isn’t just what I do, it’s what keeps me functioning. The studio is where everything makes sense.

More recently I’ve made a shift in materials, from brass to post-consumer HDPE plastic, recycled from bottle lids that would otherwise go to landfill. I heat-press the plastic into sheets by hand, then cut, sand and balance each piece on steel wire. Nine years of making mobiles, and this feels like the most exciting chapter yet.

The result is a monochrome collection — black, white, speckled, that I think is some of the most honest work I’ve made.

Thanks for stoppin’ by.
