Working in concert with the natural world, Suna’s relationship to it remains her constant focus.
Prior ceramics, Suna trained and worked creating dance installation, performance and film, specialising in improvisation and rooted in spontaneous composition and continuously unfolding into the present moment. Working in clay has been a natural evolution for her - the tactility and immediacy of the material resonating and allowing stillness and silence resonating her growing interest and commitment to Zen and meditation practice in her life.
Whilst the first chapter of her life was rooted in finding expression and presence through movement, the second chapter has become about allowing more time for conceptual relation to making and the natural world. Letting go of always ‘doing’ to sometimes just ‘being’ has given clarity to her arts practice and has led to her wanting to create objects that for varying lengths of time, exist in the landscape and the world on a permanent basis.
