SUNA IMRE
Suna is of British and Turkish heritage and resides in the UK. Before moving into fine art and ceramics, she spent 15 years creating dance installation, performance and film. Specialising in improvisation, her works were rooted in spontaneous composition - the work continuously unfolding into the present moment. Working in clay and ink has been a natural evolution - the tactility, immediacy and spontaneity of the materials resonating with her background in improvisation and dance.
Whilst the first chapter of her life was rooted in finding expression and presence through movement, the second chapter has been about allowing more stillness and silence in her life through a growing interest and commitment to Zen and meditation practice This has brought clarity to her arts practice and has led her to create objects that, for varying lengths of time, exist in the world - a departure from the ephemeral, transient nature of dance.The natural world, and her relationship to it, remains her constant focus.
