Three Sticks is a woven reflection on personal pasts and collective histories. Taken from a childhood moniker, the name refers to the idea that the letters to write IZAAK can be crafted with only three sticks. That mentality of doing the most with the least is the foundation of this collection.
 
Engaging with the concept of a material biography, this collection tells a story about a person from nowhere going somewhere. Through means of material culture, recollection, and the excavation of ancient dress, this work exists as a fragmentation of what the maker is willing to reveal and leave behind.
 
Rope making, weaving, and manipulation of disseminated materials converge to abstract a narrative about perseverance, ambition, and fate. Through the most essential shapes and the elimination of the cut, what emerges is a concept of dress that is as minimalist as the landscape that shaped it.
