Tuxedo, 2009.
Sonya Gee In 2006 Sonya Gee started
The Matchbox Project. Not to be confused with another of the same name, this work is part blog, part craft and if you can handle Gee's objections you could even call it "contemporary art". Sonya puts a small present in the matchbox and leaves it somewhere to be found. If you read her blog religiously you might hunt one down but more often than not they get found by an oblivious bystander.
Sonya Gee, now graduated with distinction from Sydney Uni, has since been writing for
Vibewire (Editor)
Lost at E-Minor, Ordinary Magazine (upcoming online magazine),
SBS News,
Insight, and Ryde City Council all the while maintaining a target of one matchbox a week and on average getting posted on major blogs such as
Kluster , Coolhunter, twothousand.com once a month and she's just been interviewed for Readers Digest Magazine!
On Wednesday 15th of April, Sonya Gee will be unleashing ten limitted edition matchboxes to
THE WALL at Sydneys The World Bar for a silent auction. Come along to 42 Bayswater Rd from 8-11 for Champagne, DJs and a close up of one of Sydney's finest emerging projects.
