Climats

Résumé du livre

This new work can be described as an "imaginarium of the north" that lies between fiction and reality. Blurring the boundaries between drawing, photography, sculpture, and architecture, Montreal artist Jocelyne Alloucherie explores the mythic dimensions of space as it is experienced in memory and the imagination. The three new bodies of Alloucherie's work presented here, Land of Mist, Land of Blood, and Land of Snow are distillations of place; each communicates a general climate or feeling rather than a particular geographical location. Jocelyne Alloucherie's intellectual rigour and distinctive artistic vision have won her an important place in the visual arts in Canada. She has received numerous awards and distrinctions, including the Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts and the Prix Paul-Emile Borduas.
