Mikala Dwyer
Mikala Dwyer has been exhibiting internationally since 1982 and has developed a distinctive and highly engaging practice that explores ideas about shelter, childhood play, design and the occult. 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. Integrating a range of quotidian materials, her works are experimental and experiential architectures that play with the permeable and changeable nature of objects and our relationship with them.
