We're so excited to be hosting artist Lindsey Waters at The Agora Borealis for both their exhibition and showcase. An update on the exact date of their artist showcase will be advertised soon.
Artist Statement:
My art is heavily based on process and material exploration. The tactile, meditative act of collage: cutting, layering, and rearranging—guides me to a flow state where intuition overrides intention. Much of my process involves taking apart what I’ve made—cutting into abstract paintings and breaking them down into fragments. It’s both destructive and liberating: an invitation to let go of control and reimagine what something can become.
By cutting paintings apart and putting them back together, I create new relationships between shapes, colors, and moments of gesture—giving my work new life through recomposition. As a kid, I would build and dismantle Lego structures or redo puzzles over and over—drawn to the current, the sense of order, and the quiet focus those processes offered. That same impulse continues to shape my creative practice today, where repetition, improvisation, and risk guide each piece.
I work primarily with synthetic paper, acrylics, inks, and gel mediums—materials that invite both resistance and surprise. Bold, bright, and saturated color dominates my compositions, serving as both release and structural device. The interplay of intense hues, muted tones, and stark white space reflects the tension and balance within emotional landscapes. These contrasts are not just visual—they're symbolic—expressing a desire to find calm in chaos, and clarity within complexity. Ultimately, my collages are visual meditations. They are introspective spaces where I process emotion through action—cutting, rearranging, disrupting, and resolving. By doing so, I offer myself and the viewer moments of stillness, reflection, and transformation.
