Work, Here

2026

Work Here investigates labor as a mode of ecological attention, situating my site-based practice at the Meeker Ave street end in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Engaging Newtown Creek as both historical infrastructure and living contaminated ecology, the project reframes labor not as production but as a way of knowing place through sustained material and social engagement. Drawing from local histories of industrialization, control, and toxic addition, the work positions a personal praxis for engaging with our complex modern ecologies.
