Story of the Eye: A Subculture of Ornamental Oddities by Lola Brooks

This solo exhibition by renowned jeweler and artist, Lola Brooks, is resplendent with love and loss, despair and hope. In this theatre of the absurd, Brooks' jewelry appropriates her usual sentimental clichés and feeds them through the cultural shorthand of emoji, begging us to reconsider their depth and power while celebrating the ridiculous and paradoxical nature of our current daily existence.
