Addressing the discomforting or unwanted lingerers as well as the innocuous and overlooked lingerers – ranging from the toxic industrial waste that persists in the groundwater to the residents who continue to live above the waste -- the lingering patch pays attention to and offers space for the things that have been shaped by but forgotten by a society driven by accumulation, speed, and instantaneity.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
