In We breathe together 2017, d harding evokes memories of family and Country, using rich monochromatic fields of pigment on glass to map various Queensland landscapes. The artist has explained:

The ochres are from a range of different locations across three territories, Bidjara, Ghungalu and Garingbal. There are hundreds of kilometres separating the locations of the sources of the pigments, spanning my grandfather’s, grandmother’s and great-great-grandmother’s Country . . . But it is more precise to say that 10 of the coloured materials that form the sequence of 12 panels speak to specific locations, and the black charcoal and Reckitt’s Blue laundry pigment are from different material origins. That blue . . . is prominent in the historical making of Aboriginal people during frontier contact times – this history is still present. I also use Reckitt’s Blue to invoke the history of domestic labour that generations of my female ancestors were forced into through government policy.
