Sara Truckel

Sara Truckel was born in Nottingham and moved to London when she was 20. After 10 years in the capital she headed further south to the Isle of Wight where her parents were originally from. Navigating these moves alongside her fierce support for a kinder, greener world, motherhood, periods of anxiety, depression and domestic abuse have shaped Sara as a person and her art practice. In 2023 she was diagnosed with ADHD and everything started to fall into place.
Her work often highlights how the self can become fragmented: how we lose parts of ourselves in order to survive, how we forget who we once were, and how we learn to wear masks to make ourselves safer or more acceptable to others. Sara’s work strives to hold space for the silenced, hidden, and unacknowledged aspects of self — the parts pushed down or erased in order to belong.
