THE END PAPERS is an artist publication documenting sTo Len’s explorations in place-based printmaking, water, and environmental debris. Developed through his work with Newtown Creek, a heavily industrialized waterway between Brooklyn and Queens with a long history of pollution from manufacturing, oil refining, and waste disposal, the publication serves as both an archive of the artist’s experiments and a record of his ongoing dialogue with water, landscape, and community.

THE END PAPERS brings together three components: a process journal documenting the research, techniques and reflections behind the work. A collection of artworks produced through experimental printmaking with polluted water and discarded materials and a separate booklet of color prints featuring Len’s explorations in water based marbling and printmaking. Drawing on Japanese techniques such as suminagashi and gyotaku, Len reinterprets traditional processes using contaminated water, oil, organic matter, and debris collected during community cleanups.

Named after the marbled papers traditionally found inside the covers of rare books, THE END PAPERS brings together finished works, documentation, and printed experiments as an archive of the artist’s engagement with the ecology and history of Newtown Creek.
