Emma Stibbon – Melting Ice | Rising Tides

We are pleased to announce Emma Stibbon’s new solo exhibition »Melting Ice | Rising Tides« at The Burton at Bideford Gallery, opening Saturday, 10 May 2025.

In »Melting Ice | Rising Tides« Emma Stibbon considers how the warming environment of the polar regions is impacting on the changing UK coastline, and makes connections between the remote extremes of our planet and our more familiar local landscapes.

The exhibition features a series of monumental large-scale drawings and prints made in response to field trips to Svalbard in the High Arctic and the Weddell Sea in Antarctica, and a new site-specific installation which directly responds to erosion and rock falls in Bideford Bay, alongside drawings and prints exploring erosion on the North Devon coast.
