Mike's personal art project gets the spotlight
In 2018, Mike made time between crafting a a flock of birds for a large installation at Rhino Foods to create a 20" tall Baba Yaga sculpture. It was given a featured spot in the Studio Place Arts juried show "Pleased to Meet You!".
"Mike Turner uses resin, fabric, wood, fur and other media to draw viewers into Baba Yaga’s spell. Dressed in rags, elbow poking through her sleeve, kerchief frayed at the edges, she clutches her pestle with aged but still strong hands. Viewers need to bend down to look into Baba Yaga’s face, a face lined with years yet pierced by alert eyes. She brings to mind tales of dark forests and old women with magical powers."
