Biography
Jake Coghlan is a Western Australian sculptor working at the intersection of landscape, material, and place.
Trained as a public artist, completing a Master of Art in Public Space with distinction at RMIT in 2017, his practice spans concept development, fabrication, and installation across public and private environments.
Working predominantly in steel, stone & timber, his sculptures respond to the geological, ecological, and cultural character of their sites.
His work has been recognised at Sculpture by the Bay Dunsborough, where he received the major award, and his public commissions include permanent works for the City of Bunbury, Cowaramup, Port Kennedy, Cervantes and the Busselton Jetty. He is represented by Yallingup Galleries.
