Jake Shaw is a lecturer in the Bachelor of Interior Architecture program and a practicing designer/fabricator.
He has worked broadly with leading designers and manufacturers to produce high quality furniture, public art, and theatre, as well as ongoing sculptural exhibition work.
Since being invited to produce an experimental work for retrospective and new furniture exhibition 'Adelaide Modern' at JamFactory in 2018 Jake has exhibited regularly as well as engaging in speaking events and panel discussions. In 2020 he was the recipient of the Adelaide Fringe Festival/George Street Studios residency where he spent 12 months developing new techniques and advancing his practice. He was subsequently invited to produce work for the 2022 Palmer Sculpture Biennial. Jake’s work is held in a number of private collections.
Jake has worked in large-scale sculpture fabrication, custom furniture manufacturing, theatre/film set construction, public art, and tertiary education. He graduated from the University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Interior Architecture.
His practice sits at the intersection of the design industry and the arts & culture sector, and interprets design through the broader lens of placemaking, community building, craft, and 'making'.
Jake welcomes discussions around creative collaborations, exhibition work, and fabrication/manufacturing for the arts.
