Round Trip

Dawn Gamblen and Phil Gamblen

Title: Round Trip

Artist/s: Dawn Gamblen and Phil Gamblen

Year: 2016

Site: Perth Bus Port

Location Detail: Three installations on internal walls at William Street, Queen Street and King Street street level pedestrian entries to Perth Bus Port.

Medium: Aluminium and LED lights

Description:

'Round Trip' is a series of artworks designed for each of the three Perth Busport pedestrian entrances. Ripple lines and elliptical bubble shapes reference the previous life of this area as fresh-water wetlands.

Ellipses make use of bold visual language that suggests movement, change, development and progression. LED lights playfully 'chase' and 'skip' around the artworks to create dynamic illuminated pathways whilst inferring travel, transition and wheels in motion.




The PTA acknowledges Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises  the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past and present.   

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this site may contain images or names of people who are deceased.
