About Barbara Crane Navarro - Rainforest Art Project
I'm a French artist living near Paris.
From 1968 to 1973 I studied at Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, Rhode Island, then at the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco, California, for my BFA.
My work for many decades has been informed and inspired by time spent with indigenous communities. Various study trips devoted to the exploration of techniques and natural pigments took me originally to the Dogon of Mali, West Africa, and subsequently to Yanomami communities in Venezuela and Brazil.
Over many years, during the winters, I studied the techniques of traditional Bogolan painting. Hand woven fabric is dyed with boiled bark from the Wolo tree or crushed leaves from other trees, then painted with mud from the Niger river which oxidizes in contact with the dye.
Through the Dogon and the Yanomami, my interest in the multiplicity of techniques and supports for aesthetic expression influenced my artistic practice. The voyages to the Amazon Rainforest have informed several series of paintings created while living among the Yanomami. The support used is roughly woven canvas prepared with acrylic medium then textured with a mixture of sand from the river bank and lava. This supple canvas is then rolled and transported on expeditions into the forest. They are then painted using a mixture of acrylic colors and Achiote and Genipap, the vegetal pigments used by the Yanomami for their ritual body paintings and on practical and shamanic implements.
My concern for the ongoing devastation of the Amazon Rainforest has inspired my films and installation projects. Since 2005, I've created a perfomance and film project - Fire Sculpture - to bring urgent attention to Rainforest issues. To protest against the continuing destruction, I've publicly set fire to my totemic sculptures. These burning sculptures symbolize the degradation of nature and the annihilation of indigenous cultures that depend on the forest for their survival.
J’ai envie de dire qu’il a une expression très humaine, mais non, tous les singes nous ressemblent, disons qu’il a un regard très puissant, très intelligent, terriblement expressif. On dirait un Sage.
In the grand tapestry of existence, we are but fleeting threads weaving our way through the labyrinth of life, each step a dance between choice and destiny. As I ponder the intricacies of our shared journey, I am reminded of the profound beauty and complexity that defines our human experience.
Life, in its infinite wisdom, presents us with an ever-shifting landscape of challenges and triumphs, moments of joy and sorrow, love and loss. It is a symphony of emotions, a kaleidoscope of experiences that shape and mold us into the individuals we are destined to become.
Yet, amidst the chaos and uncertainty, there exists a profound sense of interconnectedness—a realization that we are not alone in our struggles, but rather bound together by the threads of our shared humanity. It is in this realization that we find solace, strength, and resilience to navigate the turbulent waters of life.
Each twist and turn in the labyrinth offers us an opportunity for growth and self-discovery, a chance to unearth the hidden truths that lie dormant within our souls. For it is through adversity that we find our greatest strength, and through darkness that we discover the true depth of our light.
But let us not be deceived by the illusion of control, for life is a masterful artist, painting with the strokes of fate and circumstance. It is in surrendering to the flow of existence that we find true liberation, allowing ourselves to be carried by the currents of destiny with grace and humility.
In the midst of life’s chaos, it is important to cultivate a sense of mindfulness and presence, to embrace each moment with open arms and an open heart. For it is in the present moment that we find the essence of our being, the raw and unfiltered truth of our existence.
So let us walk this labyrinth of life with courage and conviction, embracing the unknown with a sense of curiosity and wonder. For in the end, it is not the destination that matters, but rather the journey itself—the winding path that leads us ever closer to the essence of our soul.
As we navigate the twists and turns of our existence, may we find solace in the knowledge that we are not alone—that we are all travelers on this sacred journey called life. And may we find peace in the realization that, no matter how dark the night may seem, the dawn will always break, bringing with it the promise of a new day and endless possibilities.
In the end, it is our shared humanity that binds us together, guiding us through the labyrinth of existence with love, compassion, and grace. And it is in this unity that we find the true meaning of life—a journey filled with beauty, wonder, and endless possibility.
