In conjunction with Meryl McMaster's As Immense as the Sky at the University Gallery, Ryerson Image Centre from May 1 - August 4, 2019, the Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to exhibit a selection of Meryl McMaster's photgraphs in the Reading Room.

 

Wearing various designed costumes, sculptural garments, makeup, and custom-made props, Meryl McMaster examines the overlapping cultures and histories of both her Indigenous and European ancestors in this series of performative self-portraits. Documented at ancient sites in Saskatchewan and the shores of early settlement in Ontario and Newfoundland, her images originate from her interpretation and reenactment of patrimonial stories told by relatives, knowledge keepers, and friends. McMaster’s otherworldly personas pose theatrically in front of these majestic panoramas, speaking to how inherited historical narratives inform her dual identity.
