Stibbon’s powerful work spans the extremes of the natural and the urban landscape ? from sheer mountains, and vast glacial seas to abandoned buildings or grand panoramas. Often large scale, the work is produced through a range of processes, including woodblock, chalk on blackboard or graphite on gesso. In all her work drawing is fundamental and suggests a sense of the strength, resilience and yet ultimate fragility of place. In ?StadtLandschaften? the artist has focused her attention on the dynamic city of Berlin. The historical schisms that manifest themselves in the city and the forces of a constant transformation are the central motifs driving Stibbon’s work. Stibbon’s interest in the constant flux of the natural environment can be seen here in a further group of works made in response to the shifting landscapes of Antarctica and the Alps. Stibbon has established her reputation through a wide exhibition profile and a series of residencies and awards including recent solo exhibitions at the Stadtmusuem, Berlin, Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge and R O O M London. ?Emma Stibbon: StadtLandschaften? has been made possible with the generous support of the University of Brighton, Arts Council England, the Stadtmuseum Berlin, upstairs berlin and R O O M London.
