Item description
A photograph of a woman wearing an abstracted paper mache mask. The mask is a self portrait, featuring the facial features (eyes, eyebrows, nose, and lips) of the artist as printed photographs, creating an uncannily realistic appearance. The features on the mask are distorted and rearranged, illustrating the piece’s title, “Feeling Discombobulated.”

Self-Portrait (Feeling Discombobulated)
Miya Turnbull
The image shows a mask that I made in 2020, where all the facial features are 'scrambled' on the face. It's called "Self-Portrait (Feeling Discombobulated)" which perfectly described how I was feeling during lockdown. When the features are shifted off centre, they become distorted and in contrast to the structure of the face shape underneath.
