This month at the Green Zebra Environmental Action Center (EAC) we are pleased to be featuring the artwork of Colette Crutcher & emiko oye. 


About Colette Crutcher

Colette’s career began with painting and printmaking, but her work now covers a broad spectrum, from very large to very small, from public to intensely personal, from abstract to figurative, and across a range of media: painting and drawing, collage, assemblage, paper mache, concrete, ceramic and mosaics.


























About emiko oye
 
Inspired by haute couture and salvaged materials, San Francisco artist emiko oye creates one-of-a-kind, urban jewelry and sculptures from recycled materials in combination with precious metals and gemstones.
 
Her jewelry strives to subtly transform the identity of everyday mundane objects to 
create new dialogues about our relationship 
with the environment and our culture.
 




In her sculptural work, alternative materials such as factory scraps, discarded toys and LEGO®, and sands from US internment camps are utilized to spark discourse on current socio-political issues. Topics of focus are consumerism and value, corporate greed and the media, and war and civil rights violations. Jewelry as a seductive vehicle for awareness.
 
Both her jewelry and conceptual sculptures are shown in exhibitions across the United States 
and in Europe, and are in the Museum of Contemporary Craft Teaching Collection.
