Title or Location: The Canyon Dancer
Entirely made from recycled hay baling twine, "The Canyon Dancer" is a free spirit from the canyons of the Midwest. She twirls celebrating the traditions of her ancestors in this flowing organic form. Harding's work rejuvenates tradition basketry with a contemporary take for the modern audience. There are no fixatives to create these forms, only the tension of the twine sewn in concentric circles.

Title or Location: Dreamer
I am a Palestinian artist live in London, Hampton. I specialize in black and white portrait drawings. My focus is on capturing subtle emotions and a sense of stillness in my subjects . This drawing doesn?t have a specific story, but aimed to capture a dreamy, introspective moment. My work often expresses emotions from within. This artwork was selected by the Society of Graphic Fine Art for their 102nd annual exhibition at Mall Galleries, London at March 2023

Title or Location: A bridge to cross
My husband saw a video on Instagram of someone using marbles in ink rolling around on a paper. There was an empty frame on top to keep marbles in. I tried it and loved the results. It is random lines that make different designs. This one I used a black brush pen to add more darks in spaces. It really made the paper pop!
