Yeldham and I speak about the body of work in which these pieces appear one afternoon, during the first Spring storm of the season and with the frightening memories of the 2020 fires still close to hand. This storm seems almost too perfect a setting in which to be having our discussion. Storms like these are both a rupture in the fabric of the day and an occasion for retreat into the safety of hearth and home. It’s along this path precisely – from rupture to return – that many of these recent works bring both Yeldham and his audience.
