Janice Flood-Turner

Janice Flood-Turner is a Toronto-based visual artist and storyteller working at the intersection of religion, patriarchy, domesticity, misogyny, and feminism. Throughout her career as a storyteller, puppeteer, and clown, she has infused her narratives with a feminist perspective. As a visual artist, Turner creates sculptures by dismantling, unraveling, and repurposing old textiles, domestic tools, hair, discarded Bibles, and rusted barbed wire. These materials are transformed into new icons for renewed myths, infused with hope. Collage and bookmaking also run as a consistent thread through her work. Her practice reinterprets patriarchal stories into feminist narratives, offering new perspectives on old myths. Turner’s sculptures have been exhibited in Toronto, New Hampshire, Brooklyn, and New York.
