SARAH GÜRSOY-HEUSER - LISTEN TO BRITAIN

"Listen to Britain" is a powerful meditation on national identity and the breaking away from Europe and its shared dreams. "My current practice explores ideas of national identity, collective memory, and how land and borders become central sites for tension. I create works that are multi-layered, carry historical strata, memory and a sense of place: Wood-cuts of fragmented landscape / seascape are layered with text to hint at current news, the breaking away from Europe and its shared dreams." These powerful monochromatic large-format works are shown side by side with her mixed materials graphics/printed plates and ceramic shard inlay 'pinch' pots, creating an immersive experience for the viewer. Sarah is a printmaker and artist who works from her studio in Catford. This show is the artist's first feature with Skylark Galleries. Sarah has also been selected to be part of a larger discussion of the current political relationship between Britain and the EU. Her work will be included in two group exhibitions in March 2019: Take Back Control at The Crypt and On the Cusp at Four Corners Gallery.
