Kate Harding is an artist living and working between Los Angeles, New York City and Missouri. Harding’s work examines the specificity of site and the local to explore concepts of landscape, nature, perception and inter-subjectivity. Interdisciplinary in material and approach, Harding’s background in garment design and construction often provides a metaphoric structure to her work, as does history, critical philosophy and the colloquial phrase. Recently having relocated to New York after thirteen years of being based in Los Angeles, she continues her exploration of intersubjective resonance within landscape, and is particularly excited to be so close to the Hudson River Valley, which holds so much history in terms of the lineage of landscape painting.
