Terra infirma

Terra Infirma exhibition and book extend Stibbon’s continuing research investigations into the ways that natural landscapes shift and change over time. In this body of work Stibbon addresses glacial and volcanic activity in Iceland, using a variety of methods to convey sociocultural and environmental change through the medium of drawing and printmaking.

Terra Infirma also emphasises the interdisciplinary nature of her work, as reflected in a recorded dialogue between Stibbon and volcanologist Professor Katharine Cashman, and has resulted in new insights informed by original scientific data. Terra Infirma focuses on the Icelandic landscape, which reflects the dynamic changes caused by its location on the moving tectonic plates of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
