HUMMERSTONS – FORCES OF NURTURE

Location: West Perth
Forces of Nurture brings together the careers and artistic pursuits of Janet, David, Si, Cale and Grace Hummerston: a mother, father, two sons and a daughter.

Art has always been nurtured in the Hummerston household. All five family members have individually developed their art practices at different times, places and rates. Now they present their first collaborative exhibition.

Janet, a former art educator originally trained as a potter, and has now returned to the craft. David is a former journalist who studied Fine Art at Curtin University of Technology. Si, formerly a part-time TAFE lecturer is an experienced full-time sculptor specialising in Public Art. Cale owned a skate graphics and clothing business and is now a full-time mural artist. Last but not least, Grace is a jeweller who exhibits nationally and whose work is sold in major metropolitan and regional gallery stores.

Forces of Nurture showcases the diversity and parallels of work across a variety of media, created independently by each of the family members.
