Altered States: Plastics Transformed
With work from Jennifer Merchant, Emiko Oye and Nikki Couppee, this 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.
The exhibition will be on display in our River North gallery from January 27, 2025 – April 6, 2025.
We invite you to celebrate the exhibition with us on March 27th from 4:00pm to 7:00pm! This is a wonderful opportunity to meet the artists in-person and learn more about each of their artistic practices. Wine and charcuterie will be available, and this exciting event is free and open to the public!
