'In Search of a Certain Eden' by Chanell Stone

            'Natura Negra', which translates to “Black Nature”, is a 
photographic series by Chanell Stone that explores the connection between the Black body and nature within man-made environments. The series features a compilation of environmental portraits staged in urban “forests” that explore the notion of “holding space” within one’s immediate environment. Each image depicts an effort to reclaim and reconnect with the earth, even in spaces of compartmentalized nature like backyard gardens, flora intended as urban beautification, and lush public spaces. 

The photograph 'In Search of a Certain Eden' depicts the artist standing in a bed of blooming flowers in front of a school in Brooklyn, NYC. The flower is called a Plantation Lily, which blossoms once a year. This kind of detail is common in Stone’s practice, as she often creates work spontaneously as she wanders through urban settings.

This photograph was seen and photographed on display ('Looking Forward, Ten Years of Pier 24 Photography') at the Pier 24 Photo Gallery on the Embarcadero in San Francisco, California.
