A large-scale installation at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery is showcasing a slice of Buddhist culture.

The work is by Auckland artist Tiffany Singh who was commissioned by the gallery to create it.

She was given permission from her Buddhist teachers in Auckland to use a mantra in Tibetan print.

Singh made about 240 silk ribbons to fill the 23m by 7m space.

A recording of the mantra is available for gallery visitors to listen to on headphones.

Singh will be talking about her work at the gallery tomorrow.
