Ibby Lanfear

Ibby is an artist, writer and colour maker based in the UK. Her drawing and writing focus on the interwoven narratives of the human and more-than-human through time. Borrowing Donna Haraway’s concept of ‘sympoiesis’ or a ‘making with,’ the work is collaborative and relational. Making and writing become visceral arts of ritual, recognition and remembrance; acts of care, and quiet resistance within the ‘violent unmaking’ of life in the Anthropocene. Following a degree in Art History and English, Ibby originally trained as an easel paintings’ conservator at the Courtauld Institute of Art. She holds an MA in Arts and Ecology and her drawings are held in public and private collections. Her writing has been published in both the
UK and US.
