In Conversation: Krystal Ball and Sarah Quinton
ONLINE PROGRAM
FREE
Join Toronto artist Krystal Ball in conversation with Curatorial Director Sarah Quinton. They will discuss Ball’s solo exhibition Darkness and Decadence, recently on view at BAND Gallery. The artist works with a range of textiles and motifs to frame her portraits of Caribbean women pushing back against how they are defined through white colonial ideals. Their conversation will engage the artist’s interest in painting, textiles, and installation – and how these modes of expression influence the form and content of her future studio practice.
Krystal Ball is a Jamaican-born muralist and fine artist currently based in Toronto. She began using painting and drawing as an outlet at a very tender age and it grew into a life-long passion which saw her winning multiple awards, including placing first in an international art competition held by the Pan American Health Organization at the age of 10. Krystal attended Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia where she studied Fine Arts and spent her years after school volunteering her talent to social projects across the world. She represented Jamaica at an international level at the World Festival for Youth and Students, where she received a medal for her contributions to the festival from the President.
Sarah Quinton is the Curatorial Director of the Textile Museum of Canada . Her curatorial practice focuses on intersections between contemporary textiles and sculpture, photography, design, and site-specific installations.
