Aleksandra Stone's "Veiled Landscapes" is open today. Read on for her statement.

We are sad to share that she will not be able to come to Louisville as expected; a family matter requires she be elsewhere. There will be no reception/artist talk.

Please read on for her statement about her extraordinary process and theme-- and come experience her work in person.

Veiled Landscapes

Sept. 4–27

"Veiled Landscapes began with a simple but inconvenient idea. I would carry large quantities of fabric into remote places, arrange them within the landscape, and photograph what happened. Over several years, during a series of trips through Iceland and the American Southwest, sometimes hiking alone for miles with a rolling suitcase containing forty-eight pounds of textiles. At times, I had more sequins than water. This is not generally recommended in the desert.

The fabrics are lush, reflective, and unmistakably made by human hands. The landscapes are ancient, severe, and indifferent to human plans. I was interested in what might occur when these two kinds of beauty were brought together. The cloth could resemble water, flame, shelter, or some strange living presence. It could appear perfectly at home. A moment later, it could look conspicuously foreign.

That tension is central to the work. I came to the United States as a refugee with a single piece of luggage. The suitcase in this project carries a different weight, but the act of transporting, unpacking, and attempting to make something belong remains deeply personal. The photographs consider displacement not only as a geographic condition, but as an internal one. They ask whether belonging is something we discover, something we construct, or simply a temporary arrangement that the next gust of wind may undo.

The process required surrender. Wind lifted the fabric. Rain altered it. The ground resisted it. Yet, within that disorder, the camera occasionally found an instant of stillness. For a fraction of a second, the elements seemed to cooperate. The resulting images hold that brief settlement between softness and severity, vulnerability and resilience, chaos and calm. They do not resolve the question of belonging. They remain inside it."
