Support Artists with Disabilities Through Durkan’s Mycotopia Prints

The inspiration for Macquotopia for Durban Hospital actually came from a genuine interest in mycology and home cultivation. And so I wanted to celebrate that through design. And the designs themselves aren't literal. It's just taking the life processes of the mushroom and sort of the unseen processes happening underground and translating that to design that's pretty versatile in the hospital marketing. My Cutopia as a collection is different because we've taken a life cycle of the mushroom and broken it down and abstracted it into designs that are versatile for many different spaces and properties. And so there's not a literal shown on the carpet, but we're still telling that design story through our elements. This year, we continued our partnership with Army. We've commissioned various art pieces working five individual artists. In this case, Connie Avery. Connie Avery suffers with retinalis, pigmentosis, and usher syndrome. This means for her there's gradual loss of sight and hearing. And she follows a true passion of her there are various aspects of the art that's displayed behind me that have been brought into the carpets of shown quite frankly a collection. This is a really really worthy cause. And for each of you, you can go directly to the article website and purchase prints of the very art we see behind me, and you can again provide support to art lifting and the artists that need you all.
