Over 40 photographs are accompanied by commentary from the more than 400 employees who work on the canal year-round, often out of view and in hazardous conditions. As the first artist-in-residence with the canal in its 200-year history, López-Jensen visited every lock in the system from Buffalo to Albany, from Whitehall to Seneca Falls. The archive of images he created helps communicate the potentials of the canal as a site for environmental restoration while also conveying the scale of this colossal piece of infrastructure that transformed the region in ways that are still felt today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inventory Press LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49246159077603,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9781941753774","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
