Steven Nunoda is a Calgary-based multidisciplinary artist whose practice takes the form of long-term thematically interrelated research projects. His work is physically and aesthetically diverse, acquiring form to suit his subjects. He employs a variety of media including installation, miniatures, woodcarving, found-objects, photography, digital imaging, text and time-based strategies. Nunoda’s art explores questions of family life, culture and place, memory and identity.
Nunoda’s ongoing Ghostown project is an extended suite of works which started in 2012. Elements of the project have recently appeared in a solo exhibition at the Founders’ Gallery of the University of Calgary at The Military Museums (2020), and at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto as part of the group exhibition Being Japanese Canadian: Reflections on a Broken World (2019).
