The Zodiac Collection

Across the works, each zodiac gives form to character, translating astrological qualities into subtle physicality. Scorpio is rendered in stillness, a figure of resolve with latent power. Gemini appears as two entwined figures, distinct yet connected. Cancer’s quiet power is signalled by her green-gloved hands, protective rather than forceful. Leo presses forward with confidence, poised for what lies ahead, while Virgo merges with nature itself, embodying growth as strength.

Working in gouache on paper, Lind builds the compositions through layers of paint. The medium combines the fluidity of watercolour with the density of oil, giving her figures both translucency and weight. This technique allows surfaces to feel alive with texture – at times soft and muted, at others, saturated and bold.

Colour plays a defining role in the collection. Soft washes of pale green, milky blue and neutral tones flow throughout, punctuated by vivid accents linked to each element: orange for fire, bordeaux for earth, blue for air and green for water. These defining colours tie the works together by their element, reinforcing the balance within the collection.

Lind describes the series as a gentle renewal of her style – a way of extending her practice while staying rooted in the sensibilities that have made her work so resonant. It also carries forward the spirit of her most recognised prints, such as Meet Me at Juares and Hold You – Blue, now translated into a broader body of work.

At its heart, The Zodiac Collection is an exploration of how identity can be both defined and fluid. Like astrology itself, these paintings look at the world from another angle – not as science, but as interpretation. They remind us that a sign, like a work of art, is less about certainty than about perspective, and about the shifting ways we see ourselves reflected in image and myth.
