About Terence Harding
Terence Harding is an
artist/designer who is the proud father of a son Tate and more
recently, daughter Lana. His work has strong explorative aspects, both
in terms of materials experimentation and in the manipulation of
abstract form using computer programming. Terence graduated from the
Wood,
Metal, Ceramics and Plastics BA (hons) course at the University of
Brighton in 2007 where he specialised in wood and ceramics.
Terence Harding's
sculptural
work often manifests as the manipulation or subversion of familiar
geometric forms. In an exploration regarding the substance of form, he
partially destroyed (i.e. transformed) these forms.
The final
outcomes were the result of thorough and repetitive materials
experimentation including the use of an air rifle as a reduction
process.
In polarity, Terence's research into form derived from
the
behaviour of water, relied on the manipulation of familiar forms using
mathematical formulae and computer programming. His highly original
work has proven popular and has appeared in the prestigious New
Designers SELECTION exhibition and the Crafts Councils 'New Faces'
showcase at the V&A.
He is currently producing commissioned sculpture
including abstract portraits and applied arts functionals and will be
appearing in the Where Are You Now?
Cafè at New Designers 25th Anniversary.
