Wendy Red Star explores the intersection of Native American ideologies and colonialist structures in historical and contemporary society. Raised on the Apsáalooke (Crow) reservation in Montana, she draws upon her cultural heritage in her art. In Four Seasons: Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer, Red Star poses in constructed environments with an inflatable elk, animal cut-outs, and both real and mass-produced cow skulls against majestic painted backdrops to ridicule the manufactured authenticity of indigenous cultures. ----- Wendy Red Star explora la intersección de las ideologías de los nativos americanos y las estructuras colonialistas en la sociedad histórica y contemporánea. Criada en la reserva de apsaróka (los crows) en Montana, ella basa su herencia cultural en su arte. En Cuatro estaciones: otoño, invierno, primavera, verano, Red Start plantea ambientes construidos con un alce inflable, recortes de animales y cráneos de vaca reales y de producción en masa, contra majestuosos telones pintados para ridiculizar la autenticidad manufacturada de las culturas indígenas.
