Crystal Noir is a contemporary visual artist whose practice centers on figural structures known as Spectral Vessels, bodily constructs shaped by lineage, inherited memory, and material process. These forms serve as sites of transformation and reclamation, functioning as prototypes for Black futurity.

Working with indigo as an ancestral technology, Noir approaches pigment as a carrier of history and embodied knowledge, materially transferring meaning across both body, surface, and environment.

Available Work Coming Soon

Indigo carries what history can’t contain. Once a currency of both wealth and extraction, in my work it becomes a conduit of return, a medium through which what was taken breathes, resists, and remembers.
