‘The smallest things in nature leave me in awe.
From perfect dewdrops on the grass, ants moving to higher ground when
it's going to rain, and the patterns of light and shadow in the late afternoon.’

'A design has to be pretty spectacular to make
it as a finalist for the Bombay Sapphire Design Discovery Awards, held
every year in Sydney. It has to be wow. Amazing and astonishing and lovely.'

'Si ses sculptures revoient sans cesse à son passé
s’architecte, l’artiste tient à précisor que « les matières sont essentielles
à son œuvre » et que l’architecture a toujours été pour elle un art. Ses
lances interminables plongent le visiteur dans un gigantesque jeu de mikado
qui élève le regard et transforme la vision.'

‘Waterson’s designs involve complex structural
weaving in a variety of scale …One of the pleasures for Waterson… is seeing
how her installations, screens and lights transform a space… The result
is a combination of art and architecture with true creative force.’

'By understanding the relationship between art
and architectural processes, Waterson attempts to extend the spatial possibilities
of her work. ‘I do not see these as unrelated pursuits,’ she says. ‘But
rather as parallels, each in turn informing and fuelling the other.’

'Waterson’s work describes the architecture of
her being. She proceeds from first principles to mark the trajectory of
her existence in time and space. The works are deeply personal and describe
a profound and thoughtful approach. In both theory and practice they articulate
the under-described juncture of art and architecture.'
