Artistic style and subject
Waters specialises in textile arts and techniques, such as embroidery. Waters’ blackwork is considered her signature technique.[6] In her PhD thesis, she used textile arts to explore family genealogy.[7][8] Her works have been described as deeply conceptual,[9] witty,[10] and using humble needlework to encompass worlds of concern.[11] As well as examining the colonial experience through her art, she is concerned with practicing art on Aboriginal land and the impact of colonisation.[12] She is also interested in textiles arts embodying labour and time.[13][14]
