Intro

A call went out in September 2020, about 8 months into COVID, inviting artists to respond to the Small Stuff in a Big World project by making art in or out of a matchbox.

Matchbox artworks were sent to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, for a one-week pop-up exhibition, photographed and uploaded to Instagram / Art Stuff Art Platform for permanent display.

In a world of lockdowns, mind-bending realities, diminishing options, and social isolation, matchbox-scale art that could be packaged and mailed seemed to be a viable strategy for creating and connecting.

Many thanks to the artists who created beautiful, evocative, and whimsical works for a strange time in space.

Artists:

Viv Howie, Gary Warner, Erika Scott, Russell Solomon, Blair Garland, Hollie, Mathew Begg, Ricardo Lawyer,Russell Lake, Rory Barber, Dale Chapman, Ron Hatch, Joanna Kambourian, Bek Schembri, Jan Williams, Natalie Billing, Jeanelle Hurst & Di Ball
