Altered States: Plastics Transformed Exhibition

Art Jewelry Exhibition at Pistachios Contemporary Art Jewelry

With work from Jennifer Merchant, emiko oye and Nikki Couppee, the exhibition features three artists that are transforming plastic into wearable works of art. Plastic is undoubtedly a part of our everyday lives, and is an often overlooked material for jewelry. But this transformation from ordinary to something spectacular calls into question: how do we place value on objects? What is cherished? Each artist has their own unique way of interpreting these questions and reinventing the material by tapping into intuition, with color remaining a key component to the work.

Meet emiko and Jennifer in person at the Closing Reception Event, March 27th, 4-7pm
