Navajo is a tiny place tucked between gigantic red rock formations and sits at the foot of Fuzzy Mountain, a sacred site where ecologically significant healing herbs and ceremonial plants are gathered. Navajo was once a booming milling town that harvested lumber from the nearby Chuska Mountains and used pristine ground water for their operations.
The sawmills left behind a legacy of contaminated ground water and depleted Red Lake, along with a slew of abandoned buildings permeating with asbestos. It is here where The Fuzzy Mountain Mural Project sought to turn an abandoned recreation center into a community canvas.
The large building, accompanied by an equally large pool became our island as we worked on the fiberglass roof and through daily thunderstorms.
Watch video below to see some documentation of mural process.
what great documentation of a very cool project. how did you get involved with it, jeanette?
