Pit to Pit: 22”-23” Length: 31”-32” From his website: Minnesota artist Tim Harding creates impressionistic wall pieces with layered, cut and stitched silks. Collaborating with his wife Kathleen, the artist also designs wearable art in the distinctive Harding style. Their jackets and tea coats are hand cut and crafted entirely in the artist’s studio from yarn dyed and hand loomed dupioni shantung Indian silk. As in the wall pieces, silks are slashed and frayed in the construction of this work. “There is a culturally ingrained preciousness to fabric,” the artist explains. “We must not tear or soil our ‘good’ clothes. And yet these textiles have a tempting vulnerability. My work is based on the act of violating this taboo.” Tim Harding Creates one of a kind, wearable art, one of the world’s best hand cut, hand dyed silk, decorative stripes, in extraordinary color palettes. The Tim Harding Studio is one of the oldest wearable art creators in America.
