    Natures of natures: integrating ecologies in North Bay
    (2024-04-11) Smith, Hannah
    Ideas of dynamic nature have been pushed to the edges of our cultural spheres. We refrain from seeing ourselves as part of nature, and have placed ourselves above and apart from broader ecological systems. These ideas are reinforced in rectilinear organizations applied despite existing conditions, and amongst our values for ownership of private property as a distinction of the individual. Amongst these values, domestic spheres have been isolated from broader natural and social ecologies, aestheticizing the role of women amongst the housing commodity. Ecological thinking expanding contexts and ideas of the domestic objects with values for relations amongst a broader range of scales. This project explores ideas of nature that have formed the way we organize land and the domestic sphere, and proposes an alternative model for dynamic integrations of social and natural ecologies.
