Australian artist Mikala Dwyer sculpts what we cannot see. She uses silver balloons to trap helium, a gas created in the Big Bang. The silverings invites us to consider the everyday forces – seen and unseen – that shape us.
The silverings is part of Te Papa’s permanent collection.
Ka whakairo a Mikala Dwyer, he ringatoi o Ahitereiria, i ngā mea kāore e kitea e te kanohi. Ka whakamahi ia i ngā poihau ki te pupuri i te haumāmā, he haurehu i whaihanga mai i te Orokohanga. Ka pōhiri a The silverings i a tātou ki te whai whakaaro ki ngā tōpana e kitea ana – me ērā kāore e kitea ana – otirā, ngā mea e whakairo nei i a tātou anō.
He wāhanga a The silverings o ngā kohinga pūmau o Te Papa.
