Presented here are works by two artists who cover found objects in color. For Gosselin; an embrace, pulling together into integration, boundaries merging inside the cocoon to make a new color-texture-shape structured on things whole, separate, and now part. For House, bringing color to the photographs is a curious hand extended towards the people pictured, framing them in intense chromatic surface and submerging specific moments into buoyant light.
