Abstract:Emma Stibbon RA depicts landscapes that are undergoing dynamic transformation as a result of climate change. Published to accompany an exhibition at Towner Eastbourne (9 May – 15 September 2024), this beautiful monograph presents many new works and includes a preface by Caroline Lucas MP, an engaging interview with the artist by Sara Cooper and an essay on the sublimity of landscape by Richard Fisher. Tucked inside the back cover is a large poster of Stibbon’s installation Cliff Fall, 2024, first shown at the exhibition
Working principally in drawing and print media on paper, Emma Stibbon RA (b. 1962) depicts landscapes and environments that are undergoing dynamic transformation, among them the polar regions, volcanic areas, deserts and coastal and urban locations. Her approach is driven by her desire to understand how human activity and the forces of nature shape our surroundings: ‘As an artist, I feel committed to representing the impact of these changes, be they natural or human. My impulse is to draw, to act as a witness.’ A regular traveller, Stibbon undertakes field research alongside geologists and scientists; on her return to her Bristol studio, she works from her sketches and photographic records to create large-scale drawn and printed artworks that testify to the fragility of our existence
