About the Artist

Cole Caswell researches the remnants and patterns in our landscape that reflect contemporary strategies of survival. Through strata of observation, technology, subjectivity, and his surroundings, Caswell investigates geography and its impact on our perceived ability to survive. He uses traditional, historic and digital photographic media to investigate our present condition. For most of the year Cole is working and living in a nomadic format traveling throughout the county exploring our ability to subsist within the contemporary environment. Caswell travels in an 80’s VW camper van with a portable darkroom mounted to the back and uses alternative photographic process to create works while in the field. When the warmer weather returns to Maine he migrates towards his studio on Peaks Island off the coast of Portland. In 2009 Caswell started offering Tintype portrait commission to the public under the project name AGNO3lab which is still actively being invited to various venues from wild hog BBQs in the everglades of Florida to the Colby Art Museum in Maine. Constantly working on many types of projects Cole has collaborated with the arts collective Spurse, The Nation Park System, and The Kohler Center for The Arts. He currently holds adjunct faculty positions at Southern Maine Community College, and Prescott College in Arizona.
