"These are not paintings that build form, but vehicles through which we are pulled into formlessness; encounters with the ephemeral rather that the physical, a breath of pigmentdeposited onto paper that suggests figures and forms without defining their solid prescence. Figures float into being, still tethered into the void, their weightless form a hesitant proposition. The origin fof these tentative creatureswas a dream granted to Walters when she was recentlt staying on Shetland; avision of her foetal form cast adrift in a disembodieduterus, its unbounded body free of physical constraints, floating in interconnected communion with the universe. It is perhaps unsurprising that such a dream should have come on Shetland, a thin space where physical boundaries are dissolved in the constant ebb and flow that blends sea and shore in a swirling, unresolved flux. As she watched seals blur the line between sea and air nand terns draw soaring patterns in he air before plunging into the crystalline waters, Walters herself became a shamanic hollow bone, a conduit between the physical and immaterial realms. In her sketches she is seal, fulmar, tern and foetus, a bounday crosser, diving into a cosmic space before birth and death where everything is held in unresolved undifferentiated potential."
