Biography
Mikala Dwyer assembles found and fabricated materials into circular arrangements she describes as “psychic fortresses.” Within these structures, she explores notions of ritual, transformation, and the circulation of energy between objects, bodies and environments. Her practice examines systems of value and exchange, using modest or discarded materials to question how meaning is assigned, altered and sustained within both economic and symbolic frameworks.
