— Shared Latitudes
Shared Latitudes is a photographic exhibition exploring how climate, altitude, and atmospheric systems shape our understanding of, and connection to, place. Chan brings together works from geographically inverse sites, tracing relationships between landscapes commonly perceived as oppositional: humid and arid, dense and bare. By challenging these imposed boundaries, the exhibition considers how environments coexist and intersect. Focusing on subtle environmental shifts of heat, wind, and elevation, Chan frames landscape as a dynamic system rather than a fixed category. Through this approach, the exhibition invites a reconsideration of how perception structures our reading of the world.

— Landscape Artist of the Year
Landscape Artist of the Year is an annual art competition hosted by Sky Arts. The competition takes place over a series of heats, asking eight artists per episode to produce a landscape in a medium of their choice, with four hours to create it en plein air.
From the cliffs of Dunnottar Castle to the tranquil shores of Buckler’s Hard, Kristina Chan combined her practice of printmaking, drawing and painting into a multimedia process that evoked a serene landscape and emotional approach to mark making.
Winning her heat in Stonehaven, she advanced onto the semi-final and finally the finale at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.
