Sculptor and novelist Joëlle Morosoli cofounded Espace magazine alongside Serge Fisette. She holds a BFA from Université Laval (1975), a diploma in science and education from the Université du Québec à Hull (1978) and a PhD in Esthétique, sciences et technologies des arts from Université Paris 8 (2002). Presently a teacher at Cégep Saint-Laurent, she has exhibited her work in Quebec and throughout Canada and has completed numerous projects for the integration of art into architecture program. Very early in her career, she began to design works powered by electric motors that produced cyclical movements. Her largely monumental installations showcase the interplay between light and shadow, inviting viewers to observe the interaction and thus participate in the metamorphosis of the schematized human and plant forms. The movement in all of her works is extremely slow, at times hardly perceptible, which builds strong tension between the pleasure of discovery and the anxiety of a lengthy wait. Spectre d’ombres (1996), one of her pivotal works, gave impetus to other major interventions such as Camaïeu d’ombres (2003).
