Sarah Gursoy-Heuser (London), a graduate of Central Saint Martins and Camberwell College, explores collective memory, narratives, and cultural heritages. She doesn't view them as stagnant entities but as dynamic forces in a continuous cycle of construction and reproduction. This perspective is beautifully exemplified in the Recall of the Sea series, where she uncovers the remains of the past: Scattered, fragmented stone blocks with seaweed imprinted, washed onto the shore. The land-blocks carry memory, personal and collective. She draws connections from deep within the past to pressing issues of today, making her work a poignant reflection of our shared human experience. The visuals in Sarah Gursoy-Heuser's work are not mere representations but the result of a unique process.

They are developed through a variety of printmaking techniques at different stages. Some information is lost in this journey, while others are carried through to the final stage, creating a captivating interplay of presence and absence.
