 al\, which was part of her final qualifying paper\, was chosen for present

 s scholastic merit and curatorial insight into the history of jewelry. Nix
 on’s exhibition will be the first in a series of exhibitions curated by re
 cent graduates that Bard Graduate Center is launching to celebrate its 25t
 h Anniversary.emiko oye is a San Francisco based artist. Inspired by haute
  couture\, art history\, New Wave/Pop music and everything Bowie\, emiko o
 ye creates colorful hand-crafted art jewelry from repurposedLEGO®. She thr
 ives on the challenge of taking what’s familiar and turning it on its head
  to transform the mundane into a conversation-sparking experience. Using j
 ewelry as a vehicle to tap back into the nostalgic root of childhood\, to 
 unearth memory through the tactile. She’s delighted by similarities found 
 in both LEGO® and jewelry: hands-on-story-telling capabilities\, increased
  value with vintage\, dedicated collectors\, family heirloom. By utilizing
  an unexpected but universally familiar material such as LEGO® in her jewe
 lry\, the onlooker is lured in by his/her own narrative\, creating an imme
 diate\, personal engagement with the work and likely to share their joyful
  experience with others.We are also pleased to extend complimentary need-b
 ased community tickets by request to all ticketed events. To learn more\,
