Studio Route 29 announces two exhibitions opening in Frenchtown, N.J., this Saturday, Feb. 17, Vinetta Miller’s “Queens,” at Studio Route 29’s Beauty Gallery, from 4-6 p.m., and “I Just Want to Know,” by Cindy Gosselin and Katie House, at ArtYard, from 6-8 p.m.
Miller has worked at the Center for Creative Works in Wynnewood, since 2013. Miller’s artwork has been exhibited at the Outsider Art Fair (New York, N.Y.), Woodmere Museum (Philadelphia), ArtYard (Frenchtown, N.J.), and Haverford College (Haverford).
House is an artist living and working in Frenchtown, and was the very first artist to begin her practice at Studio Route 29. House works in diverse media, including painting, textile, sculpture, collage, and jewelry-making. Her work has been shown at Beauty Gallery in Frenchtown, as well as the Hunterdon Art Museum, Early Bird Espresso, The Mix, and other community art spaces in and around the Delaware River Valley.
Through a combination of wrapping motions – spinning, winding, twisting, and dropping – Gosselin creates her bound sculptures with a focused, obsessive intensity. Pulling various found objects into the cocoon-like forms, from wooden spools to house keys, they continue to morph and grow until Gosselin deems them “too heavy.” The artist is blind, and her bound vessels are created entirely through her sense of touch.
Gosselin’s work has been widely collected in Philadelphia and New York. Her sculptures have been exhibited in Brooklyn, at Philadelphia’s artist-run galleries and in New York City. Aside from her sculpture, Gosselin has a sincere passion for music, and has performed in a number of venues in Philadelphia. She has worked at the Center for Creative Works since its founding in 2011.
