Kimberley Harding
she/her/hers
Kimberley Harding experiments with texture and color in three-dimensional weaving to create works inspired by nature and personal experiences. Additionally, she weaves traditional basketry forms using conventional reed and contemporary painted paper techniques. She strives to create objects that induce the urge to touch – something that seems forbidden.
Originally trained as an educator, Harding expressed her creativity within the constraints of teaching, family and volunteer endeavors. Her work has always involved fiber techniques such as loom weaving, sewing, knitting, crochet, resist dyeing and embroidery. First introduced to basketmaking in 2015, she remarked, “I feel as though I am recalling an alternate life when weaving – I am certain I did this before.”
