The Oracle

Textile fiber · 2026

Richard Harding is a fiber artist based in Ashland, VA, whose practice centers around exploring traditional techniques found in basketry. Using the medium of thread, twine, and rope, Harding creates soft sculptures that evoke elements of basketry and pottery, while also incorporating his own unique vision and aesthetic. Through the meticulous chording sewn in concentric circles, organic forms emerge, creating a sense of cultural parallels and a connection to the natural world. Inspired by the oracle and its many prophecies, Harding's work transports viewers to an alien landscape, inviting them to contemplate the intersection of tradition and innovation, and the blending of past and present. This work is a unique original work of art - Textile Art by Richard Harding (United States), Textile fiber on Wall. Its dimensions are 86.4x96.5 cm. The artist's signature is present on the artwork. This artwork is part of the gallery Cultural Parallels of basketry and Pottery. Materials: Wall · Original Listing: $8,054
