Collection
Create Your Own Canvas With Social Canvas.
As we come into the world, we are each given a canvas, ready to be painted with our own story. These canvases are not necessarily blank and often bring affordances or limitations, depending on our personal and social circumstances. Even so, it’s up to us what we do with our canvas. When society is equitable and inclusive, we each have the agency to create a completely new story - our own. The Social Canvas collection speaks to the triumph of the human spirit. This collection is a result of a collaboration with ArtLifting, using the work of artist Charlie French as a point of departure.
Encompassing the triumph of the human spirit.
Social Canvas serves as a focus point, or artistic accent, to bring the warmth of the human spirit into spaces where we can all feel welcome and supported. Encompassing multiple carpet styles, each viewed as a different canvas, the collection spans chunky and smooth textures, incorporating colourful brushwork and a refined palette.
In pursuit of celebrating artists with disabilities and those experiencing disadvantage in the Oceanic region, our Social Canvas Collection is proud to support genU Arts Programme by providing an annual donation.
" My favourite shape is squares. Squares make me feel safe, secure. Squares are strong, but cosy too. Even comfortable. I love to fill a canvas with squares. A canvas filled with squares is like a path. It’s a way to move forward. Moving forward and staying safe. "
– Charlie French
