Natalie Ball Natalie Ball is a Klamath/Modoc interdiciplinary artist based in Chiloquin, Oregon .Background Born in Portland, Oregon , Ball is enrolled in the Klamath Tribes . She is also of African-American , Modoc , and Anglo-American descent. Ball is a descendant of Kientpaush , also known as Captain Jack , the chief who led the Modocs to fight the United States in the 1872 Modoc War . Her grandfather was a painter, and her aunt Peggy Ball, was a quiltmaker. Her family moved from Klamath lands to Portland, Oregon, after the Klamath Termination Act was passed in 1954. Ball has three children, including daughter Lofanitani Aisea.Education Ball earned her bachelor's degree in art and ethnic studies from the University of Oregon , and her master's degree in Maori Visual Arts from Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand . She earned her MFA from Yale University School of Art in painting and printmaking in 2018.Artwork Ball's art practice includes installation art , performance art , mixed-media textile art , sculpture, painting, and printmaking. Her textiles often combine stitched words with quilts and dolls that draw upon Modoc and Klamath history. Her aunt taught her quilt making when Ball was young, inspiring the adult artist to challenge assumptions about materials, matrilineal craft, and textiles. Ball's installation at the 2015 One Flaming Arrow Indigenous Art, Music, & Film Festival in Portland, Oregon incorporated a variety of materials. These included coyote heads, Ball's handmade quilts, and original 19th century newspaper clippings about her great-great grandfather Kientpaush. Oregon Public Broadcasting noted that freshly cut wood in the installation, “Mapping Coyote Black,” rendered the gallery "thick and sweet with piney smells." Of the installation, Ball has said, “Everyone knows that Coyote is a trickster: intelligent and powerful, and at times Coyote plays the fool. I offer Coyote to viewers as a woman , the avatar of myself as an artist.” Ball characterizes motherhood as central to her identity as an artist and writes that her work "examines internal and external discourses that shape Indian identity." Ball cites performance artist Coco Fusco as an inspiration, particularly Fusco's influential performance piece "Two Undiscovered Amerindians Visit the West," created in collaboration with Guillermo Gómez-Peña .Art career Ball has exhibited internationally, including in Hungary and New Zealand . She earned an MFA in painting and printmaking from Yale University School of Art in 2018.
