Studies in water media and still life
A selection of Kris’s latest body of work exploring water-based media, incorporating watercolour, ink, and gouache. Drawn to the fluidity and unpredictability of these materials, she creates luminous surfaces that invite a sense of presence. Influenced by her printmaking practice, she continues to explore still life forms, with sacred geometry, pattern, and crochet-like textures emerging alongside glass vessels and vivid blooms.

Exhibition Profile - The In-between
Stoddart Cottage, January 2025
In ‘The In-between’, Kris Waldin explores the liminal space where all creation begins - the present moment. Drawing on sacred geometry and colour, these works are gentle meditations on potential, transformation, and the unseen forces that shape our world.
At the heart of the series is the Vesica Piscis - a symbol formed by the overlapping of two circles, long associated with the union of opposites, the balance of masculine and feminine, and the threshold between past, present, and future. It is both birthplace and cocoon, a container for emergence. Within this sacred shape, the Flower of Life begins to unfold - a pattern of interconnectedness that speaks to Kris’s ongoing dialogue with presence, wholeness, and energetic alignment.
Rainbows appear throughout the work as subtle gradients or luminous arcs - symbols of joy, magic, and the seen-and-unseen nature of creative life. Through delicate layering, embossing, and hand-formed marks, each piece becomes a quiet portal - an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the wonder that exists in the spaces between.
Botanical collection
These circular botanical prints are created using a gel plate monotype process - an intuitive, layered technique that captures the delicate textures of leaves, grasses, and wildflowers in richly organic compositions.
Working with foraged plant material, I slowly layer colour and surface with a sensitivity to what is natural, spontaneous, and beautifully imperfect.
The circular format speaks to wholeness and cycles - seasons, growth, stillness, and return.
These works are one-of-a-kind; no two impressions are ever the same.
