A4 Sketchbook – Sea Ice, Svalbard by Emma Stibbon
£22
30 sheets of Accent Antique textured fine art paper, with a black detachable ribbon
Featuring a striking cover image of Sea Ice, Svalbard (2023), this A4 sketchbook is produced to accompany our new exhibition Emma Stibbon Melting Ice | Rising Tides, 10th May to 5th July 2025.
Working principally in drawing and print media on paper, Emma Stibbon RA 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 are shaping 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.
