DescriptionGlacier in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Circle.Interpretations Emma Stibbon, a British painter and printmaker, has carried on the Romantic landscape tradition promoted by British thinker John Ruskin (1819-1900). She has said of her own work, “I am interested in whether drawing or print can connect the viewer with the urgencies of our relationship with environment and an experience of place.” Stibbon’s interest in extreme environments took her on an Arctic Circle expedition to Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago known for its glaciers and frozen tundras; a landscape profoundly impacted by climate change. - John Murphy, Hoehn Curatorial Fellow for Prints
