Cassidy Conway Cole is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work explores the entanglements between land, extraction, inheritance, and ecology. Drawing from a background in painting, film, sculpture, and performance, her practice navigates the paradoxes of environmental degradation and inherited systems of value, particularly in relation to oil and gas economies and the complexities of land use.
Through experimental methods that merge material engagement with critical theory, Cassidy investigates how systems of power, complicity, and care shape both personal and planetary histories. Her recent projects engage themes of environmental ethics, the philosophy of paradox, and feminist ecologies, often using site-specific materials, sound, and archival processes to map invisible forces and inherited tensions.
Cassidy holds a BA in Art History and is completing her MFA in Arts & Humanities at the Royal College of Art in London. She is currently developing a body of work centered on landscapes shaped by resource extraction, where the land itself becomes both subject and collaborator. Her research is driven by a desire to make space for repair, contradiction, and embodied knowledge in the face of ongoing environmental and cultural collapse.
