18th October Artist Talk
JOSHUA YELDHAM & MIA DALBY-BALL
TITLE: SALT MARCHES AND STORIES
Sunlight plays on the water and dances on the undersides of the Mangrove
leaves. Cool mud in our toes and that smell of salt-air mixed with deep Earth. Join us here, where life abounds, for a synthesis of facts on Mangroves and Saltmarsh from Mia Dalby-Ball and awakening through Joshua Yeldham vision of the mangrove as a symbolic process of nature’s supreme technologies – filtering out redundant elements to drink vitality / absorbing our life’s nutrients to taste our full potential.

Drawing from a reverential love of nature and deep spiritual affiliation with the land, Joshua Yeldham creates intricately rendered works that oscillate between narrative and myth, imagination and real experience.
