'Allowing' is the title of the print.
Over more than a decade, Frances Tong ventured into the highest altitudes of Japan, China, and the United States — undeterred by freezing cold and blizzards, on skis and snowshoes. She looked beyond the surface of the landscape, transforming fog, snow, and ice into ink-like abstract worlds that illuminate the boundless possibilities of being alive.
The extremity of a blizzard is not so different from the world we live in now — energy crises, social unrest, the ground shifting beneath us. What is threatened is not some distant future, but the most fundamental of human needs: a place to breathe, to feel safe, to call home.
In a world unravelling — where is home? Some have left in search of dreams, adrift on uncertain waters. Others have stayed, only to find that home is no longer home. 'Allowing'' invites you to step into the mountains, and rediscover the answer that has always been within.
