Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.British artist Anne Hardy photographs large-scale interior spaces which she carefully constructs over several months. Using complex camera techniques, reflections and painstaking positioning of objects, she conjures still life images that look as if a person has just stepped out of them and paint vivid portraits of that imaginary occupant.
Born in 1970, Hardy graduated from the MA photography course at Royal College of Art in 2000. Last year she was artist-in-residence at the Camden Arts Centre and her work has previously been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Venice Biennale and the Bellwether Gallery in New York. She is represented by Maureen Paley, London and works from a large studio in Bethnal Green.
Hardy gave Independent.co.uk exclusive access to her studio for a video interview (above).
Anne Hardy contributed one of 44 artworks being auctioned tomorrow at the Contemporary Art Society’s annual fundraising gala, for more information visit www.contemporaryartsociety.org/leap
