Miss Gowanus is a text in which Belichick reveals her personal connection to the Gowanus Creek. The creek, located in South Brooklyn, connects the neighborhoods of Red Hook and Carroll Gardens to the New York Harbor. This book uses photographs from 1867 through 1952 to document the transformation of the creek from a healthy and fruitful body of water to an open sewer. This is part of a public art project to initiate and encourage ecological stewardship and conservation.
