Featuring nearly forty objects that span three decades of activity, this exhibition is the first comprehensive, mid-career survey of Eichenberg's oeuvre, which ranges from conceptual jewelry to thought-provoking installations. Exploring timely issues surrounding heritage, gender, identity, equity, and social justice, each work reflects the artist's quest for a safe haven in a more equitable world.
