R A Jacobson

Richard A. Jacobson is a writer and artist whose work explores the intersection of history, memory, and imagination. Drawing on documented events as readily as invention, he creates interconnected novels, historical fiction, paintings, sculptures, and archival works that examine how ordinary lives are remembered, forgotten, and transformed into story.

His projects often take the form of recovered archives, historical reconstructions, and narratives assembled from fragments, reflecting a longstanding interest in the traces people leave behind. At the heart of his work is a simple question: what remains?
