Finally, the rituals of preparing and eating meals are crucial, everyday modes of inhabiting the landscape, albeit usually indoor. Are not the interiors of houses just as much a part of the landscape as their exteriors. One might argue that interiors are, by definition, places from which the landscape has been excluded, or where remnants of it are allowed in, only if tamed or domesticated. Yet ...landscape is not just about external views but about chosen, “manageable themes”. We can choose to understand landscape ...as the integration rather than the opposition of these (gendered) dualisms of inside/outside, production/reproduction.

- Bronwyn Hanna

continuum
noun
a continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, but the extremes are quite distinct.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you, but I know it's mine.
