Newtown Creek

Brooklyn/Queens, New York, 2001 - 2006 Newtown Creek is a photographic survey of an industrial waterway, which focuses on changes to the landscape and built environment, along the creek and its surrounding area, over a five year period. The survey captures the waterway at an in-between moment in time when industry and manufacturing have disappeared and gentrification and development are beginning to transform the area.
