The Land We Share considers sharing private property with other species, and the way these species cross borders between neighbors. A wasp uses the transitive property of mathematics; a veery predicts the hurricane season better than super computers. We don’t know what creatures may hold the knowledge we need to survive, yet we operate according to our immediate convenience in our interactions with these “others” and often consider them intruders on “our” land. This is a colonized instinct. As a first step to reframing our mindset toward the notion of shared land, I engaged in a practice of observation with the adults and children on my five-house block. We challenged ourselves to take notice of as many unique species as we could. Collectively we observed 58 unique species just on our block in middle America. Awareness and observation are art practices and the first steps in changing our interactions with our non-human neighbors. To document this project, I made a map for each house on our block.  Each household mapped out the landmarks in their yard for reference points, then made a numbered list of every species they saw, and finally they marked that corresponding number on their map.  Upon completion, I placed all the maps together in a latch hook “frame” inspired by the landscape of our neighborhood.
