By casting a wide net, Joshua Yeldham spins compatible and contrasting philosophical and material choices in a personal orbit. Recent travels to Japan, Arizona, India and his home landscape of the Ku-ring-gai and Hawkesbury regions have inspired these paintings, works on paper and kinetic sculptures. He infuses Vedic notions, Hopi cosmology and Kyudo, the Japanese art of archery and zanshin, its meditative component. All roads lead the artist to ‘being transient’, moving through spaces, symbols and sensations in art and ideas both contemporary and ancient.
