Marion Jacob │ The Form is Foremost

The Reboli Center in Stony Brook wanted shoot some interviews with modern art sculptor Marion Jacob's family in her hometown in Connecticut. Marion's work has been exhibited all over the world, and was even featured in the Museum of Modern Art in 1959. The Reboli Center recently had several of her works on loan, where you could see and learn about her technique, attention to detail, and patience when making these complex forms.
Her Connecticut studio is where I got to see more of her sculptures and where she spent countless hours refining her work. The studio was virtually untouched, as if she was coming back to finish the several unfinished pieces .
I met with her husband David and three of her daughters, where they discussed her life, dedication, and passion for art. I shot a two camera setup in BRAW format and cut, colored, and composited in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Photoshop. I used generative AI to remove certain elements in the interview like the overhead microphone, soft box, and various reflections.
As someone who can't sit still for my life, I became fascinated with her patience and meticulousness nature required to make such stunning work. Whenever I get to shoot interesting topics like this, I remember how awesome my job is.
Marion passed away in 2022 at the age of 97 but her work will live on forever.
