Suna Imre
Solihull United Kingdom, b. 1971
Biography
Before turning to fine art and ceramics, Suna Imre spent fifteen years working across dance, installation, performance, and film. Rooted in improvisation, her early practice centred on spontaneous composition—work that unfolded in real time, attentive to presence, perception, and embodied awareness. This foundation naturally led her to clay, a medium whose tactility and immediacy echo the physical intelligence of movement.
While the first chapter of her practice was grounded in expression through motion, a later shift toward stillness and silence has become central to her work. A growing commitment to Zen and meditation has prompted a transition from constant doing toward attentive being, bringing clarity and restraint to her artistic language. Through this evolution, Imre began to create objects that occupy time differently—works that endure, in contrast to the inherently ephemeral nature of dance.
Throughout her practice, the natural world and her ongoing relationship to it remain a consistent point of reference, informing both the material and philosophical dimensions of her work.
