Abstract

This chapter researches New York City’s water, made inaccessible through hostile architecture of the waterfront in Brooklyn. I cite my practice in relationship with this research, and reimagine possible outcomes of water accessibility through affordability, materiality, craft, and open-source research. In centering autonomous agency, this project creates multiple levels of intimacy with material, investigating toxicity and healing through environmental justice. My research is situated within significant environmental works such as Silvia Federici’s Caliban and the Witch1, and Kathryn Yusoff’s A Billion Black Anthropocenes or None.
