CINDY GOSSELIN

Through a combination of wrapping motions – spinning, winding, twisting, dropping – Cindy Gosselin (b. 1964) creates her bound sculptures with a focused and 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 lives in Havertown, PA and works out of the studio at Center for Creative Works in Wynnewood, PA. Her work has been exhibited at Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Spillway Collective, and FJORD Gallery in Philadelphia, as well as the Outsider Art Fair in New York City.
