The Paradox Gateway
Emily Kedar, Caroline Joyal, Puja Jones
This piece is inspired by The Open Floor movement practice workshop entitled "In Good Standing" with Kathy Altman. Briefly, it represents how someone can cope with two discordant emotions by watching them take form and move in their own rhythm. As the dancer witnesses the two emotions, she starts to dance with them. That's when the healing and magic happens.

Caroline Joyal
I am passionate about moving around my canvases with brushes and playing with colours. As a Registered Massage Therapist, I enjoy working with many elements that I find in my painting and dancing practice such as fluidity, energy, rhythm and texture. I strongly believe in the many benefits any art form can bring to someone’s healing. |
