Written By Tom Warner

This month we are delighted to welcome back artist Inma Herrera who returns to Longyearbyen to continue her project, "Arctic Tales of Mother Earth."

Drawing inspiration from Svalbard's rich geological history, Herrera is exploring fossil imprints using the "Rubbing Printing" technique, a traditional, non-invasive image transfer method.

Her work delves into the Arctic's geological genesis, linking themes of imprint, time, and extinction through earth-friendly printmaking methods. Herrera's return to Svalbard, following her initial 2022 residency with Artica Svalbard, aiming to complete this project, influenced by the challenging Arctic environment.
