“Drawing in Iron” is an interesting example of Robert Jacobsen's desire to remain inquisitive in relation to space – here perceived as a movement that is solidified from the surface of the wall and in relation to the space. The shadow play of the iron reliefs on the wall become part of the experience of the space.
