Chanell Stone

Her solo exhibition Natura Negra appeared at the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco in 2019-20, she was included in the 2019 Aperture Summer Open and has been the recipient of several photographic awards.

My body is a conduit wherein I explore the depth and fluidity of my Black existence. I dive into existential questions of being and belonging by examining what it means to be alive in my skin. Self-portraiture has given me a way to fully meet myself and reckon with these findings. This introspection has also led me to see the external world around me in a new light; taking note of its active role in molding my identity. Each of these aspects coalesce into rich black and white photographs made entirely on film. 

I was born in 1992 and in true millennial fashion I experienced the joy of polaroid film in my childhood and the rise of pocket-sized point-and-shoot digital cameras and flip phones in my adolescence. By age 13, I had my first social media profile on Myspace, a digital camera and blog to boast. The internet was a very different entity 15 years ago; it was an algorithm-free place for self-expression, pirating music and instant messenger. In my generation, the internet was a place for refuge, reprieve and inspiration -- not advertisements. 
In these simpler times, photography reigned supreme and I instantly fell in love with it. I began making self-portraiture then and still continue to do so today. Having lived through the transition from analogue to digital, I find it only natural that I reverse migrated back to analogue photography in my adulthood. There is an unequivocal warmth, texture and nostalgia found in film that I cannot find anywhere else. My 90’s childhood has informed so much of my work, style and attitude toward life today. I appreciate the ways in which analogue photography forces me to slow down and stay present. I have also become vastly attracted to the tactility of physical photographs that exist outside of a screen. As an adult, I now embrace a hybridized art practice and lifestyle that marries both technologies together satisfying my desire for the “old” with our current “now.”
