WOLFVILLE, N.S. — Masks have both an inward and outward aspect as demonstrated by Halifax artist Miya Turnbull’s new exhibit at the Acadia University Art ...
“I am drawing from the traditional uses of masks worn for disguise, transformation and protection, as well as a metaphor for persona, archetypes and identity,” she noted. “Each different self-portrait is a way I can explore variations, my experiences, perceptions, inner world and my mixed Japanese Canadian heritage, making these visible, tangible and wearable.”
Turnbull explained at the recent opening that her masks are “life-like depictions of my face and are constructed from papier-mâché and photographic collages. I am drawing from the history of masks, typically used in ritual and in theatre, as a metaphor for identity, self-image and archetypes.” Turnbull is a multi-disciplinary artist, working in a variety of mediums including mask making, painting, printmaking, felting and animation. She grew up on a third-generation family farm in Alberta and has lived in Halifax since 2002.
