Artist statement

Cadine Navarro’s multidisciplinary practice cross-pollinates the fields of art, science, and design to create spaces of encounter and direct experience. The materiality of her work often finds its source in a Japanese aesthetic and worldview - the country where Navarro was born and raised with French and American dual citizenship. She is interested in the stories derived from land-based cultural identity, which contain lessons embodied in ancestral knowledge and plants. She is particularly interested in arts and culture practices that can become strategies and actions for a climate-positive environment. For this reason, the arc of her research-based practice explores models to catalyze a shift in consciousness and include community outreach and educational programs that aim to serve as an act of reciprocity and response to the damage we have to the Earth.
