SALE Tim Harding Signed Textile Art Jacket Turquoise/Purple 100% Silk ArttoWear

Description: Tim Harding Textile Art Jacket Turquoise/Purple 100% Silk Art to Wear I read the following about Tim Harding: "After working in painting and photography, Tim Harding became intrigued with the intimacy of fiber and textiles: their textural, tactile richness, the inherent grid of the weave, the pliable plane. His pieces, comprised of cut, layered, and stitched bits of silk, have a pixel-like quality reminiscent of pointillism. He uses simultaneous contrast—multiple solid colors arranged in tight proximity—to create the kind of vibrant richness associated with the Impressionists." "The Hardings’ jackets ... are hand cut and crafted entirely in the artists’ Stillwater, MN studio from yarn dyed and hand loomed dupioni shantung Indian silk. As with the wall pieces, silks are slashed and frayed in the construction." "The Artist/design team of Tim and Kathleen Harding are represented in the several museum and celebrity collections including the Smithsonian Institution’s Design Collection at the Cooper -Hewitt Museum in New York. They are featured in the definitive book Art to Wear by Julie Schafler Dale, are winners of the 1994 Igedo Color Award from the Fashion Foundation of Japan, and have been the subject of special showings at Bergdorf Goodman and Nieman Marcus.
