What colour is your glacier?
In 2022, I spent a month in Svalbard to conduct research for Northlandia, the imaginary arctic country in my world of 2084.
In 2026, I went back!!!
At the end of Jan 2026, I’ll travel for 50 hours from Hong Kong to Longyearbyen, the world’s northernmost town. I’ll spend a month with the Spitsbergen Art Center where I’ll
-
Make tonnes of sketches and studies for large woodcut paintings
-
Get ideas for settings for upcoming animation project
-
Interview arctic experts for future works
-
Take photographs for the upcoming publication “The Official Guide of Northlandia” and upcoming exhibition at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)
-
Work on upcoming publication “Northlandia Stories”
-
Conduct a storytelling and drawing community workshop
-
Work on my Travel Journal, to be published in the future
-
Field arctic sound recording for Northlandia animation and future exhibitions
(I know that's a lot. That's how I operate lol.)
Now you can become part of the journey through collecting a woodcut print I’ll make during the trip! This will also help fund my trip.
Thank you and please share with friends! xoxo
