About

Aleksandra Stone is a Yugoslavian-born American photographer, painter, and multimedia artist based in Dallas, Texas. Stone's art practice investigates the influence of time on the construction of narrative identity. Specifically, how the passage of time shapes the perception of lived experiences, diminishing, or reinforcing plot points that become the framework for the story we tell of ourselves. Stone's work additionally examines identity through the lens of ancestry, immigration, trauma, and humor as understood historically, in the present, and moving forward. Using her own body as a subject and element of her photographs and paintings, Stone documents how the body copes, heals, and holds experience through life's transformations.
