Winifred’s Legacy

Neil’s work explores cutting edge technology combined with craft techniques creating one-off and limited edition printed textiles. His work focuses on the creative interaction between traditional textile design and new digital technologies.
Neil’s work has been acquired by major collections around the world including the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Crafts Council Collection in London and the Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York. Work has been commissioned as one off installation pieces for private clients and companies such as Smith and Nephew, Nortel, Hilton Luxury Hotels and P&O.
"In contrast to the countless digital images we record and store today, the photograph in this piece of work is something different. This photograph is the only image that exists of my great grandmother from this period in her life. She is perhaps 14 or 15 years old as she stands before a painted scenic background. It is probably taken around 1890. This was a special occasion indeed (maybe her first communion) and it is so very different from the selfies taken by generation Z in 2019"
