Simge Guçlu’s work explores print as an ‘action relic’: a series of motions, decisions, and events that culminate in the recording of the moment of contact between substrate, ink, and matrix, serving as a physical trace of material and spatial transformation. The performance of printmaking exists as fragments within her work, visible through layers, tears, interruptions, rhythm, and repetition, drawing attention to the flow state of printmaking as a medium rooted in labour and transformation. Through the ingenuity of ‘making’—including printmaking, papermaking, and bookmaking—she explores spiritual, social, and cultural care practices, the invisible ties of shared memories and loss, and thresholds of self. Simge is a Turkish artist, researcher, and printmaker with an international background. She completed her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts at Cornell University in the United States and moved to London to pursue an MA in Print at the Royal College of Art. She is currently undertaking a second Master’s degree in MRes. She has exhibited internationally in the US, UK, and Turkey through group shows and fairs, given artist talks and workshops, and worked extensively within print-related circles.
