Crystal Floyd is a visual artist based in Jacksonville, Florida and a current resident at CoRK Arts District. Like her subject matter, Crystal's creative output thwarts classification--darting between textiles, paint, assemblage, and plants. Her work touches on concepts of nature and fantasy, drawing from her almost obsessive desire to collect and catalog objects of inspiration; she frequently blends concepts of old and new, organic and artificial, whimsical and mundane. One detects a strong sense of history and magic at play in Crystal's visual vocabulary. This probably has lots to do with her lifelong ties to the South, an area that is as weird as it is beautiful.
Crystal has co-curated shows at the Old Library Basement and 229 North Hogan Gallery in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. She also volunteers at the Museum of Science and History, working in the non-living and history collections. She loves her dogs, eating barbeque and adventures.
