Napeague State Park

East Hampton, NY. 2025

The narrow, straight-edged “canals” that cut through the marshland at Napeague aren’t natural tidal creeks — they’re remnants of a large-scale mosquito control effort that swept across Long Island nearly a century ago. Beginning in the 1930s, workers dug thousands of shallow ditches through coastal wetlands to drain stagnant water and connect isolated pools to the tides. The approach worked to a degree, but the results were mixed. While some mosquito populations declined, many species adapted, and the ecological costs became more apparent over time.

Signed Exhibition Fiber Paper prints with white border. Museum-grade and archival, this baryta paper offers rich contrast, deep blacks, and lasting clarity.
