Sheilah ReStack

Sheilah (Wilson) ReStack is an artist born in Caribou River, Nova Scotia and currently living in Columbus, Ohio with her wife and children. ReStack’s work is a feminist investigation into photographic and moving images as one of the possible materials for imagining desire, motherhood, and queer family into the world.
Red Star takes these images from the National Anthropological Archive, and frees them from stillness. She traces in red ink around objects; notates; adds speech balloons; explains; diagrams.
