Miya Turnbull

April 10 – May 23, 2026

In Traces, Miya Turnbull delves into self-representation through masks, sculpture, photography and video to explore identity as something layered, fragmented and continually transforming. At the heart of the exhibition is her ongoing collection of various hand-crafted self-portrait masks, realistic yet uncanny forms cast from her own face and reimagined through collage and distortion. Extending this language of masking to the full body, traced outlines and empty “skin-suits” on the gallery walls act as proxies, suggesting forms that were once inhabited but are now hollow, suspended or pinned in place. These self-portraits, along with life-sized photographs and video performances, function as fragments or echoes, tangible traces of identity in flux, caught between presence and absence. Together, these elements form an environment where body, image and memory overlap: an archaeology of the self in transformation. Traces invites viewers to reflect on how identity endures through what is left behind.
