As two designers, a creative couple, for 25 years we have bordered and supported each other’s unique pathways.
This year we embark on
the Porch Project, a new collaboration encompassing the warp and weft of our individual and shared lives in art, design and community.
We believe that even in difficult and dark times there exist seeds of promise and strength, and this is our way of - together - meeting this moment.
We are putting our attention on who & what we support - celebrating and amplifying positive voices, messages, and lives - by witnessing & honoring, and by creating.
The Porch Project is about metabolizing life, your life. It is about teaching yourself to build the muscle that converts nouns into verbs. How to live yourself into the ethos ‘how you do one thing is how you do everything’.
It’s about activating the processes of composting - turning SH!T = fertilizer (the good, the bad, the ugly) - to discover ways to miraculously transform trauma into healthy fertile soil in which to plant
new seeds of thought, new intentions,
new understandings of your own life.
It’s the coalescing of all that you consume, filtered through your clear attention, investing your own precious time, weaving & integrating all the parts of your life into coherency. Finding healing in times of great darkness, mending, tending, & extending to hearts torn & ragged, raking the fabric of community from hole to whole.
All of life is textile, right down to our very DNA.
Everything is connected. Our one true currency is our time & our attention - spend wisely.
