The freestanding industrial facility is under-construction at Cheesequake Road in Sayreville, N.
From "Wrecked Boat, Cheesequake Creek, November 1993" which shows a sadly overturned and decaying vessel on stagnant waters, to "Flowering Apple Tree, Ticetown, May 1994" which offers a glorious glimpse of a tree in exuberant full bloom, these images evoke far more than one man's personal history--they form a window into the soul of the area's land and community.
Some of the closest homes are to the south of the landfill, but they are buffered from it by Cheesequake State Park.
