Gaye Shield and Julie Hosking | Fertile Ground

July 29 2017 — October 22 2017

Hunter based artists Gaye Shield and Julie Hosking were unaware of their close family connections; recently they discovered that their great grandfathers were brothers. Inspired by their joint and individual family histories Gaye and Julie have joined creative forces to present an exhibition of new art work which seeks to acknowledge and imaginatively celebrate a shared family past. This new body of work will feature images of the landscape which follow this families respective journey across NSW, finding disparate family members settling in the Hunter today.
