Jocelyne Alloucherie offered some reflections on the development of her work in the exhibit guide to Climats (Climates) held at the Carleton University Art Gallery in 2010:
"I develop rich bodies of work, grouped together under the same title and whose relations change according to the time and place of their exhibition. Like pieces of music, they undergo variation according to the way they are interpreted, which is a function of the space in which they are shown. The conceptual thread of a work is constant, but the way it is exhibited is not absolutely fixed" [3]
