"Four artists have been commissioned to create temporary interventions in the Seattle Center Poetry Garden to call attention to the unique character of the site, a space designed to ask visual artists to draw inspiration from the written word.

Natalie M Ball: August 8 - October 31, 2016

Installation artist Natalie Ball will use the garden as a space to hang a large-scale textile artwork of doll houses that explores indigenous domesticity. The artwork will mix the tradition of storytelling through fiber arts to take a hard look at the conditions and experience of indigenous women."

"Amongst the show’s stronger offerings are Natalie Ball‘s installation of two quilts, Incident at Fort Klamath and Coley the Giant (both 2009). As rectangular quilts, Ball’s work speaks to the introduction of quilting to her Modoc tribe in the 1960s and the intimacy of domesticity, personal space, and beds...."

"The two artists will join a host of locals, for a diverse series of art projects – some that focus on fruit and others that think far outside of that box. Indigenous artist Natalie Ball will lead a "War Whoop Flash Mob," for example."

Interview with Natalie Ball about installation Mapping Coyote Black; soundcloud interview included.

"One Flaming Arrow seeks to evolve the dialogue of Indigenous Survivance by introducing a biennial Inter-tribal art, music & film festival to the Portland area. One Flaming Arrow advocates Native expression of autonomy through the warrior spirit. It stands to disrupt the hegemonic white noise of contemporary culture. By focusing on non-conventional exhibition spaces & (non-neo)-traditional Indigenous artists, the festival creates space for the radically political, experimental & emerging."
