Susan’s Sword
Sheilah ReStack
09.21.2024 — 11.16.2024
Susan’s Sword was Sheilah ReStack’s second solo exhibition at TBB, debuting three new, never-before-seen bodies of work.
Each piece in Susan’s Sword extends ReStack’s long-term interest in experimental photography. She has described this interest as a desire, “…to crawl inside the photograph, to rupture its decisive relationship to time and truth.” In Susan’s Sword ReStack has mounted two large-scale installations of photograms that immerse the viewer upon entry and use scale to evoke this feeling of being inside the medium.
ReStack has paired these two installations with Etel’s Up Trap (2024) a new suite of intimate works on paper that collaboratively combine images from Sheilah’s daily life with painting and drawings by her partner Dani and their daughter Sky.
Images of the installation follow below.
