Si Hummerston

Si is an accomplished professional public artist who has been creating work for more
than a quarter of a century since graduating from the Claremont School of Art. Over 25
of his distinctive, robust and often quirky sculptures are sited throughout WA. Other
sculptures and paintings are in private collections.

Constructing with a broad range of materials including timber, mild steel, aluminium,
copper, bronze and reused items such as car panels and street signs, Si creates both 2D
and 3D works. His public sculptures are often monumental and built to withstand the
elements and a high level of human interaction. Kinetic, interactive and mechanical
elements also feature in some of his sculptural works.

Local flora and fauna are common references to help tie the significance of the site to
the surrounding environment. But Si’s personal interests stretch to cars and toys, which often emerge in his artworks teamed with a sense of whimsy, nostalgia and a nod to popular culture.
