Both pieces also feature gorgeous, original music written by our very own Beth King, which was also inspired by 'Hard Pressed'! 🎵

This beautiful composition plays over the credits of both pieces, perfectly encapsulating the tone of both!

We are thrilled to launch the premiere of Canvas! We asked two writers - the brilliant @veryrareSimon and @RosaDayJones - to write a monologue response to seeing a piece of art. 🖌️

Their responses can be found below and on our blog:
