Vermey has a substantial exhibition history and maintains an ongoing

ABOUT DAWN GAMBLEN
Dawn Gamblen graduated from Curtin University of Technology (Fine Art)
in 2002 after three years at Claremont School of Art majoring in
sculpture. Dawn's art practice focuses upon the creation of
site-specific sculptural works that respond to their surrounding
environment and encourage active and imaginative responses from the
viewer. Much of her public art practice has been concerned with change
& movement - both implied and actual, with lighting increasingly
becoming a significant part of this. Her interest lies in creating
artworks that are inclusive of the local environment and the viewer.
Her strong interest in nature, movement, physics, science and biology,
has been used in the past as both a medium for, and as the expressed
idea within her artworks. Now working as a member of the artist team
Midnight Tuesday she is continuing to create large scale, sculptural
commissions for public spaces.
