Informations about the artist

Waking from Dreams of India

With digital photomontage and time-lapse video, Neil attempts to create an artistic journey through India by merging images ancient and modern, mythical and real, imagined and lived. The juxtaposition of popular advertising, religious imagery, and classical Indian art with contemporary scenes references contemporary clashes of values and cultures that are occurring on the subcontinent, and in his own person.

For him, the complex history of these images signifies the emergence of his own identity, which has been a slow process of assimilating influences from both Eastern and Western cultures.
