The Lord of Undiscovered Riches

Textile fiber · 2026

Richard Harding's work as a fiber artist is a reflection of his deep-rooted connection to the natural world and his fascination with indigenous cultures. 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 cultural parallels, particularly the interplay between basketry and pottery, 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. As a protector of nature, Harding's work is a tribute to the fragile beauty of The Amazon Rainforest and the legendary city of El Dorado.
