BIOGRAPHY

 

Waiata, a previously UK-based artist with over 45 years of experience, now resides in Bali. The ideal place for her current phase of life.  

Favouring visual sensations associated with gold and most recently soft pastels, Waiata’s use of colour implies the different facets of her travels throughout the years.  Florals, repetitive motives and the cross- symbolic of strength through the intersection of lines - represent her exploration into a more connected world and becomes a composition that characterise her work. Each of her works possesses its own character as she welcomes many different styles to her practice.  

The Integration of form and function produces a sense of balance and proportion. The accumulation of lines creates structure and precision to direct the gaze of the viewers and opens a fresh conversation via different perspectives.
