Richard Harding's work as a fiber artist is a reflection of his deep-rooted connection to the natural world and his fascination with the natural world. Based in Ashland VA, he skillfully utilizes techniques found in basketry, incorporating chording sewn in concentric circles to create intricate and organic forms. Drawing inspiration from the Hyacinth Macaw, an endangered species found throughout South America, Harding uses repetition to emulate the organic forms within their feather pattern, Harding's creations are a fusion of tradition and contemporary expression. Thread, twine, and rope are masterfully transformed into soft sculptures that evoke a sense of reverence for the natural materials. This work is a unique original work of art - Textile Art by Richard Harding (United States), Textile fiber on Wood. Its dimensions are 129.5x68.6 cm. The artist's signature is present on the artwork.
