Dr Ivan
Misner, founder of BNI,
receiving the Sonus sculpture
at the London BNI Members Day.

UK BNI member Terence
Harding used flat pieces of laser cut
acrylic to create the Sonus sound
portrait sculpture entitled “Givers
Gain” which is a physical rendering of
sound analysis data from Dr. Ivan
Misner’s voice on the BNI orientation
CD.
“The
sculpture has very much to do with
not just Ivan,” says Harding, “but
the concept of BNI being people all
helping each other out.”
While in college at the University of
Brighton, England, Terence developed
software which he used to create
sculptures inspired by the behavior of
water. However, upon graduation, his
wife was expecting their first child
and he put his sculpting endeavors on
hold to go into creating quality
bespoke furniture as, unlike
sculpting, it was a business with a
relatively quick return.
Says
Harding, “Thanks to the training,
support, networking, opportunity to
further personally develop, and the
viable business opportunities
provided by BNI, I have now been
able to return to sculpture.
However, this time I’ve produced
something one hundred times better.”

Terence spent (the
last) three years with ideas
percolating around his head, not being
able to do anything about them and now
his current work revolves around sound
and by using the software he wrote
from scratch to express sound in a
physical form. He now intends to
investigate other subjects including
other data sources such as
cartographic data.
“ . .
. A big thank you to Ivan, BNI and
all its members who are out there to
help me . . . my next move is to
create a sculpture in lead crystal
or dichroic glass, which will look
phenomenal,” says Harding, “and I’m
currently looking for sponsorship
from various suppliers, starting
with Swarovski.”
So many people have been inspired by
Terence’s work and we wish to thank
him for his wonderful contribution to
BNI and wish him the greatest of
success in all his endeavors!
