An exhibition of 70 artist matchboxes. 🔥
Outside of my box is micro themed inspired by butterfly microscopy & subatomic particles. Inside of the box is macro themed inspired by the cosmos. These are recurring motifs that are also on my large-scale mural at Fullerton and Lake Shore Drive.
What does solidarity mean for the artist? Or, what can art do in a time of crisis?
In General Strike, we witness more than 70 approaches to a singular object: a large, wooden matchbox. Containing purple-tipped matchsticks, these vessels of potential display a wide array of mediums and methodologies offered by artists across North America. While some revel in whimsy, beauty, and the pleasures of life, others direct us toward bold, decisive action. All, in their own ways, speak to an innate impulse to transform something simple into another thing entirely.
