Born in Strasbourg, France, sculptor Joëlle Morosoli now lives and works in Montréal. She has a doctorate from Université Paris 8, and enjoys a prolific artistic career. Known for her kinetic sculptures, she has created no less than 25 public art pieces. The artist says that she exploits movement and rhythm, “providing form to movement”, in order to elicit sensations and emotions in the viewer. She regularly exhibits, both alone and in groups, in Québec and Canada, and also participates in exhibitions in France, Switzerland and the United States. She was also the cofounder of Espace sculpture magazine and has been associated with its editorial team for about a decade. As well, she teaches visual arts at Cégep Saint-Laurent.
Artwork description
This faceted volume depicts a crystallographic structure put into perspective by two vanishing points. This ensemble signals the interdependence of the arts and sciences conveyed by the educational system. Knowledge, a precious crystal, is symbolized by the shape of a diamond, which fragments to reveal a mirror reflecting passing reality.
