C. L. Harding’s work inhabits the space between interior and exterior experience—where perception, memory, and imagination quietly converge. Visually impaired from birth, Harding approaches color, form, and perspective in ways that challenge conventional expectations, allowing intuition and sensation to guide the work rather than optical certainty. The resulting images offer an alternative way of seeing, one rooted in lived experience rather than literal representation. Drawing from the legacies of artists such as Kandinsky, Dal, and Man Ray, Harding creates dreamlike, fanciful compositions that move fluidly through past, present, and future. Works are often developed from small sketches, though at times they emerge directly on a larger scale. Themes of solitude recur throughout the practice—solitude understood not as loneliness, but as a reflective, generative state. Using relatively simple materials including acrylics, gouache, markers, pencil, and pastel, Harding employs a range of tools—brushes, palette knives, sponges, fingers, and cloth—to build layered surfaces and evocative imagery that invite contemplation and quiet discovery.
