Artwork Description

This piece was inspired by a stuffed toucan from the artist's childhood that had first belonged to his mother and eventually himself until it was lost during a family move. The artist states, "I was pretty upset and still miss it today and I think that's a lot of the reason for my enjoyment making pieces like this".
