Miniature Worlds: In conversation with Joshua Smith

When QVMAG approached internationally renowned miniaturist Joshua Smith to co-curate an exhibition based on miniature sculptures, it touched on an idea that Smith had been considering for many years.

Working in the arts for over 20 years, Smith began as a self-taught stencil artist in South Australia and progressed to director of the Espionage Gallery in Adelaide. Yet, it was through his stencil work that he moved into miniatures.

Now having worked with miniatures for over 8 years, Smith’s sculptures have been embraced by the worldwide miniature art community. His artwork focuses on depicting urban decay and the often-overlooked aspects of our environment, including grime, rust, discarded cigarettes, and graffiti.
