In the accompanying catalogue essay by Katrina Schwarz, she quotes from Yardley’s writing in relation to the material:
“Goat leather is not just a surface, it has memory and a grain. When you quilt with it,
you become aware that it is both tough and tender. It holds light in a particular way – it
is matte but not lifeless. It also retains the fact of having once been a body. This brings
something intense and deliberate to working with it. I have thought of goat leather as a
material link to peripheral vision for many years – informed by the goat’s unusually wide field of vision. This idea acknowledges that the connection between things is not always obvious, or even real, but becomes real because I am holding both in view at once. Many of my projects are built on this, through proximity or through the collision between one history and another.”
Katrina Schwarz further observes:
‘The quilting of goat leather intensifies the negotiation of abstraction: each seam
registers a decision, each adjustment remains visible. Surfaces wrap around edges so that painting behaves as object.’
