Emma Stibbon, ‘Atlantic Edge’ (2025). Intaglio print on Somerset paper, 28cm x 35.5cm
The Burton has launched a new limited edition print by artist Emma Stibbon depicting the North Devon coast, available to purchase exclusively from the gallery and online shop.
In her upcoming exhibition ‘Melting Ice | Rising Tides’ (10 May – 5 July), Emma 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 intaglio print Atlantic Edge (2025) shows waves crashing onto the dramatic Hartland coastline and is part of Emma’s new body of site-specific work about erosion on the North Devon coast. There are 50 works in the edition, priced at £390 (unframed) or £490 (framed). All profits from the sale of the prints will be used to support the ongoing work of The Burton at Bideford.
Atlantic Edge is available to pre-order now from our online shop or in person at The Burton. For more information please call 01237 471455 or email info@theburton.org
