Jade Doskow's commissioned photo essay on Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood was featured in the New York Times. Article by Glynnis MacNicol.
"What was until 2010 the largest oil spill in US history — and remains the largest terrestrial oil spill in the national record — lacked the spectacular optics of the Exxon Valdez’s despoliation of wilderness or the Deepwater Horizon’s underwater explosion, or even the temporary inconvenience of the transmission pipeline leak that closed Southern California beaches last October. “Discovered” by the Coast Guard in 1978, the slow seepage likely dates back to the origins of the oil industry in Greenpoint, Brooklyn."
In this A&T Talks episode, New York-based architectural and landscape photographer Jade Doskow talka about the painstaking process of developing longterm photo projects and the grit it takes to develop a career in photography. Her work ethic is incredibly aspirational and her experience serves as a learning opportunity for new and early photographers.
"Tucked within the halls of the Tracey Morgan Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina is Jade Doskows’ exhibition, Freshkills. This collection of images shows the land of the Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island, New York. The landfill has long since been occupied since its closing in 2001, and with it came two decades’ worth of decay and geological changes. Fresh Kills Landfill sent one final barge on March 22, 2001, except for providing a place for debris following the events of September 11, 2001. This caused a portion of the landfill to be historically important for the future. Since then the name Fresh Kills Landfill has been changed to Freshkills, and remains 'The largest landfill-to-park transformation on the planet'"

Doskow's new series on Freshkills, New York was featured in the New York Times
Through her large-format, full-color images of the site, the transformations — natural and unnatural, dynamic and incremental, seasonal and yearly — become visible. Combining within each picture the beauty and luminosity of the Hudson River School of landscape paintings with the jarring, surreal structural elements inherent to the site — methane wells, leachate plants, roads built for landfill operations that are still in use today — Doskow’s images offer a vision of a new and highly engineered concept of wilderness.
