Literature
Mikala Dwyer is a Sydney-based artist known for her playful, fantastical installations that explore matter and alchemical metamorphosis.
Influenced by early 20th-century art movements, including dada, constructivism and arte povera, her work pushes at the traditional limits of performance, sculpture and installation. She integrates all kinds of materials – from plants, mirrors, trinkets, fabric and perspex to clay, helium, wood, paint and wool – in different combinations, exploring the relationship between viewers and objects.
Her installations and sculptures are experimental and experiential architectures that play with the permeable and changeable nature of objects and our relationship with them.
