Sticks & Stones is a new collection of work by Matan Fadida, the title acts as the collection’s central theme, explored through a range of materials, processes and ideas. Playful motifs appear throughout the work, from the silhouette of a stone informing the shape of a table, to hooks cast from forms naturally found in branches.

Matan began developing the collection with an intention not to overthink or overcomplicate its narrative. Instead, Sticks & Stones became an exercise in testing how this narrative could manifest in different ways. While the premise is deliberately uncomplicated, it has developed into a wider conversation within Matan’s practice, examining our relationship with nature and the ways in which we interact with the materials that surround us.
