Emma Stibbon – Territories of Print
1994-2019
We are pleased to announce the publication of »Emma Stibbon – Territories of Print 1994-2019«. Concurrently with the artist’s solo exhibition at Rabley Drawing Centre, this monograph gives an insight into Stibbon as ›artist as witness‹ to our landscape and environments on the cusp of change: polar regions; volcanoes; deserts; coastal and urban. Through the alchemy of printmaking Stibbon envelopes us in her experiences with monumental woodcuts and tactile intaglio prints, where volcanic ash is crusted embedded into the printing plate.
With an essay by Gill Saunders, Senior Curator (Prints), V&A Museum: »Stibbon, likewise, draws from the printmaker’s prosaic materials images which are marvellous and compelling, images which expand our imagination and leave us awe-struck.«
