"I loved the idea of working on such a unique surface and how Canvus is really doing something I’ve never heard of before. They really allowed us to have so much freedom with our designs."

"This piece is inspired by my daily walks with my daughter in late August when our neighborhood is filled with sunflowers popping up. All of the different shapes and textures they have are so unique. I wanted to highlight their beauty and how they are a crucial food source for bees. This lovely pairing sparked the idea of the hive in the interior of the structure."
