Since 2003, the main focus of Cogswell’s work has been an ongoing series of RIVER FUGUES<\/em> projects exploring the interdependency of people, industry and rivers. RIVER FUGUES<\/em> began in Cleveland, Ohio with Cuyahoga Fugues<\/em>, a mixed-media installation inspired by and incorporating generations of stories reflecting the life and dreams embodied by the Cuyahoga River.\u00a0 Expanding on this idea, Moving the Waters: Ashokan Fugues <\/em>was created for a solo exhibition at the Cue Art Foundation in NYC in 2014, and re-created in 2016 for a solo exhibition at the Kleinart \/James Center for the Arts, Woodstock, NY.

Recent exhibitions of such works include In the Elements <\/em>at Kentler International Drawing Space in Brooklyn, NY (2022); \u00a0Fragile Rainbow<\/em> at Williamsburg Art and Historical Center, Williamsburg, NYC, NY (2022).\u00a0 Upcoming in March, 2023, Cogswell\u2019s work will be included in an exhibition titled This Earth<\/em> at the Concord Center for the Visual Arts (Concord, Massachusetts) for artists who were awarded residencies at the Montello Foundation in the Great Basin of Nevada in 2022.<\/p>\n
