PAPHOS, ISTANBUL AND ATHENS
Paphos, Istanbul and Athens have all been illustrious capitals, their former glory evidenced by spectacular sites and finds. The contemporary midden heap of these places however, can supply equally fascinating material that tells other stories.
Works produced during Harding’s second stay in Exarcheia combine discarded packaging and ephemera to create a distillation of the city’s daily life, from its food, its music and its protests, to its church and local services.
Harding’s residencies in these three locations have resulted in a series of unique prints and assemblages that make use of found objects and images, referencing anything from street graphics to religious iconography, with the randomness tempered by structure that relates to architectural forms.
