CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY:

 

Cole Caswell is the 2023 Maine Art’s Commission Visual Arts Fellow

Rise is a photographic investigation of the coastal landscape in Maine that will be lost to sea level rise. Made using the wet-plate collodion process the images depict places that will be underwater or rendered unrecognizable by the turn of the century. Reclaimed by the ocean.

Cole Caswell’s sense of home is tethered to an island off the coast of Maine. A landscape often battered by wind, drenched in waves, and enveloped in fog. The coastline of Maine has always felt like a mystical place, dotted by marshes, lagoons, and islands. Romantic and full of history this place where sea meets land is going to change in dramatic ways as our planet’s climate continues to warm. Predicted sea level rise is already affecting the coastline and by the end of the century the places described in these images will be underwater or changed beyond recognition. Reclaimed by the ocean. Cole’s use of the wet-plate collodion process allows him to hand make each of these images while on location. The resulting glass-plate negatives are an accumulation of what it is like to be in a place – a tribute to a landscape that will be consumed by water and the rising ocean. The artifacts and unique marks within the hand poured negatives intrigue us. As chance-based additions they visually suggest the faltering of our contemporary world. Maybe visions from memory, a dream, or a fleeting glimpse of what is at stake as our climate changes the places we hold sacred.

Working and living in a nomadic format Cole travels throughout the county exploring our ability to subsist within the contemporary environment. His studio is located on Peaks Island off the coast of Maine.

In Capitol Complex | July 1o to October 31, 2023

The Maine Arts Commission is pleased to provide an opportunity to share the artwork of State of Maine employees and their families at the State Capitol Complex in Augusta. The Maine Employee Art Exhibition is designed to give artists at all skill levels a unique opportunity to exhibit their creative work.

Sponsored by the National Arts Program (NAP) in support and cooperation with the Maine Arts Commission, this exhibit is judged by professionals and is free to all. Selected works will be on display in the Burton M. Cross Office Building (second floor) from July 10 – October 31, 2023.

The Art in the Capitol program exhibits a wide array of work throughout the Capitol Complex, highlighting the artistic and cultural diversity found throughout the state of Maine.

All Art in the Capitol exhibits are free and open to the public.

About the NAP

For over 30 years, the National Arts Program has ensured that employees and their families have access to opportunities that showcase their creativity.

Creativity exists in all of us, but how we express it is unique. When we have an opportunity to showcase our creativity, and that creativity is acknowledged, we feel pride, connection, and affirmation in ourselves and our talents. That's why the National Arts Program Foundation was established, to provide the resources needed so that anyone can be an artist and any space can be transformed by art.

Every year, the National Arts Program partners with more than 90 venues in 30+ states to create workplace exhibitions where the artistic expression of employees and their families are recognized. By supporting these venues with an online gallery, funding, guidance, cash prizes, and more, they are the only national nonprofit that is dedicated to transforming people and places by showcasing individual creativity.

The National Arts Program invites employees to bring their whole selves to work and show others their creative side. Whether art is a passion, hobby, or another career, they help artists of all levels and backgrounds transform themselves through creative expression. They ensure that creativity is recognized and validated, sometimes for the first time, with prizes, scholarships, and awards programs.
