Miya Turnbull
Miya Turnbull is a mask-maker who works specifically with self-portraits as a way to explore different facets of her identity. She has created a Photo-Mask technique to make life-like representations of her face and often distorts and manipulates her image in various ways which she then wears as a ‘false face’ or ‘second skin’. Miya has exhibited her work throughout Canada and internationally and is the recipient of many grant awards. She holds a BFA from the University of Lethbridge in Alberta, and currently lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
