Dale is a Bidijira man with his roots firmly planted in Central Queensland and Brisbane. Trained by artists Jennifer Herd and Gordon Hookey, and mentored by Richard Bell and Tony Albert, Dale Harding’s use of forms such as cross stitching is rich in colour and somewhat totemic. He uses this form to talk about the servitude of Aboriginal women, taking stories from his grandparents. A versatile artist, Harding uses various mediums to express the issues important to him.
