Verdant, tangled and overlooked. Ecosystems supporting hundreds of migratory bird species lay a stone’s throw from parkway exits. Shoe-laced overpasses stitch together lands, people, and histories, simultaneously creating and dissolving innumerable borders. Wedged between routes 287 and 78, the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge was marked in the 1960s as ideal land for a sprawling jetport. In 1966, the Refuge was established after local groups purchased the land donating it to Congress; a portion of the land was later designated as the first wilderness area under the Department of the Interior. The swamp disrupted what could have been, a paved paradise for jet-fueled metal birds. Wetlands are often not viewed as a landscape, but a blur beyond the window of a commute, an overgrown fringe beyond a guardrail. As such lands face new challenges, this series seeks to illuminate the borders created by this land and ponder the consequences of no one stopping to look and notice what is there. As the glow of ambient light floods above the horizon, the borders of the swamp and the rest of society around it ebb ever so slightly.
