When dancer and art enthusiast Kara Wily wanted to open her own Pilates studio (having learned the ropes from the movement's founder himself) she always planned for the space to double as a gallery. Her grand opening and inaugural exhibition features an installation from Cadence Pearson — a dancer herself, as well as a student of Eastern philosophy and visual art — whose compelling images and objects combine elements of traditional women's work, such as embroidery, with expressive, mannerist sculptural forms. Pearson views body image, modern feminism, personal integrity, and unsettling desire through the same mind/body ideology that inspired Wily's gallery.
