Alexis Neal is an Auckland based artist. The backbone of her art practice is the medium of print, incorporating Māori weaving to explore cultural identity, the value of history and the complexities of human connection. In her work, the Māori story is rendered with contemporary materials. It is a simple, effective weave that is simultaneously, social, personal, cultural and human.
