In a pivotal body of work, the artist presents new drawings, prints and an immersive installation, that bring us to the frontlines of climate change, connecting vanishing polar ice and surging sea-levels with the unprecedented erosion taking place on UK coastlines.
Like J.M.W Turner centuries before her, Stibbon bears witness to the changing landscape around us, bringing this powerful body of work to a London audience for the first time.
To emphasise the threat to rock coasts that make up half of the Earth’s coastlines, Stibbon will present an immersive installation at Cristea Roberts Gallery. Rock Fall, 2025, is a site-specific and hyper-realistic drawing of the cliff-face in North Devon, measuring three metres in height that cascades into the gallery floor. Using pigments ground from rocks from the site, such as sandstone, clay, shales and limestone, the installation also includes actual rocks and mixed media to capture the varied geology and palette of colours developed over thousands of years.
