A Case for the Porch
"Lately I've been trying to think like a porch. Trying to think between the
natural and the human. Thinking how best to build during a climate crisis. I
came across John Cage saying that progress in art "may be listening to nature."
He thought this activity could best play out on a porch, where we can hear
nature's symphony and then breathe our own masterpieces. Can we play our porches
like instruments? So that we listen to but also learn from nature?"
