DITCHIN’: Hay & High Ground

DITCHIN’: Hay & High Ground is a print and projection installation developed by artist and printmaker Heather McMordie and soil scientist and environmental historian Edward Landa. The project examines the long-term impacts (physical and cultural) of early 20th-century mosquito control ditches on the coastal wetlands of the Northeastern United States. Their collaboration has yielded cyanotypes and naturally corroded etchings, and will culminate with a multi-media installation of real and imagined landscapes in Spring 2024.
