Inspired by hardware, haute couture, and salvaged materials, San Francisco artist emiko oye creates urban jewelry from one-of-a-kind art pieces to her ready-to-wear emiko-o line. Utilizing non-traditional materials such as industrial scrap, discarded plastics, and LEGO® in combination with semi-precious metals and gemstones, her works strive to subtly transform the identity of everyday mundane objects to create new dialogues about our relationships with the environment and our culture. Major museums that have exhibited her work: Museum of Arts & Design, NY; Schmuckmuseum, Germany; Museum of Contemporary Craft, OR; Museum of Craft + Design, SF; Society of Arts & Crafts, MA, Toledo Museum of Art, OH. |
