Portc is interested in legitimizing the means employed by people left out of the larger economy to create viable living spaces. (She at the same time) flirts with the danger of romanticizing the poverty that forces the destitute to erect these temporary cities. (Art critic, Eleanor Heartney, Art in America,July 2001)
