Sarah Stone – Draped in Armour

Sarah Stone – Draped in Armour

Description

Listen to the audio description of this artwork:

Draped in Armour’ is a human and artistic reflection on the invisible. By making these monuments of art(chitecture) disappear, Ana de Romieu invites the public on a playful journey through the picturesque soul of Avignon, France, to question the banality of our movements. Captured by Sarah Stone, this photo is a result of an unplanned collaboration between three artists: the original sculptor, Ana de Romieu, who covered the sculptures, and Sarah Stone, who encountered and therefore photographed this artwork.

“Sarah Stone (°U.K., 1994) is a photographer based in Antwerp, Belgium

Stone received her master’s degree in photography at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp in 2022, winning the Photography Department prize. Her photographs have been published in KAROO, .tiff, Der Greif, Subbacultcha, and Different Class, as well as self-published books La Vie De Camille (2023), ANNA (2022), and The End of The Pipeline (2021). Her project 76 Collages was published by SO-RI in 2021, and a following series is set to be published later this year. In 2025, she began her TOT ZINES project, publishing local artists in the zine format. Her project Pl. du Jeu de Balle is set to be self-published later this year. Stone has recently been selected for Kunst in Huis.

Group exhibitions include XXX OCULI (2025) at Imaginair, Brussels, “”Out of Office”” (2024) with BREEDBEELD in Gooik, Belgium, and .tiff (2023) with the FOMU (Photography Museum Antwerp). Stone’s collages were exhibited with Stieglitz19 Gallery in the group show Collage! Collage! Collage! with Vincent Delbrouck and Miriam Tolke (2021). Her image, Whistles Dress from the project ANNA, was selected for the ONBOARDS Biennale 2023, an exhibition of art displayed on billboards throughout Antwerp.

Stone’s work revolves around a strong signature of aesthetic, poetic, and colourful images. This is substantiated by her usage of analogue photography, creating imagery that presents an open and honest reflection of her surroundings, in which she zooms in on details, the faces of her friends, and the objects she is drawn to. Shot on 35mm film, Stone’s images reveal her inner life, almost like an abstract visual diary. Stone’s photo series is often founded on human traces, whether in personal relationships or relationships to objects and materiality; each has its angle of approach but is based on the beauty of life and its details. Her photographs embrace colour, texture, and shape, aiming to show the world as a theatrical stage, full of props and characters.”
