About
Dawn Bendick began her academic pursuit at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD, focusing on the Josef Albers approach to colour theory. Subsequently, she gained a Masters in Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in London.
Represented by Charles Burnand Gallery, Bendick’s artistic focus revolves around the manipulation of time, light, and multi-tone glass, grounded in a pragmatic exploration of sensory perception. Her work explores our human instinct for temporal reckoning determined by seasonal, atmospheric and meteorological shifts. Underpinning the creative work of this American born, UK based artist, is a pragmatic approach informed by in-depth research into the advancements of lighting technology and as such, its contributions to the human perception of light and colour. Bendick’s work is defined by the use of transitional materials which mimic the movement of natural light, asking the viewer to question absolute time while generating a dialogue between the artificial and natural worlds.
