About Atom Small
“Quantum physics is the study of matter at the most fundamental level – the building blocks of our existence that, to most of humanity, will forever remain invisible. So, too, is the aim of my ongoing project. Like those unseen, subatomic particles bouncing around within me, without the artifacts that make up this body of work, I am nothing.” – Atom Small
The Aloha Room
“Tiki Bars were born to deliver the promise of the islands. Of paradise. As it happened, though, life made me a work guy, and work made me a city guy, so carrying this matchbook in my jacket felt like I held an unused ticket to a real escape beyond the horizon. But truth is, when I’d end up at the Aloha Room in Portland’s old Heathman Hotel, it felt like pastiche. With lots of guys like me. I’d sip my Shark’s Tooth (rum grenadine and fruit juice, and only ninety cents), but the aftertaste was bitter, of a paradise lost. These matches turned into a cruel reminder of how far away it actually all was, how my dreams and reality would always remain an ocean apart. But presented at this scale – a little worse for wear, sure – the matchbook finally recaptures the magic of the original promise, of Heaven on Earth, which I refused to discard and stubbornly always kept in my jacket, close to my heart.”
