BIO

Jacob Littlejohn born in 1995, is a Scottish visual artist who graduated from The Glasgow School of Art where he received a First Class (BA Hons) in Painting and Printmaking. His practice is concerned with his personal interaction and investigation with the natural world. Exploring the ways in which people choose to interact and represent place and spaces, while recognising and honoring the melancholy and poetics that characterize these ideals. His process resides within a profound interest in variations of documentation, forms of cyclical cycles, folklore, deep time and the act of foraging for natural materials.
