Maya Neill/ Women Art

Maya Neill is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice examines systems of control, domesticity, and the regulation of the body through everyday rituals and objects. Working across printmaking, textiles, photography, sculpture, and moving image, she approaches the medium as a functional tool that allows ideas to dictate form. Her work often centres on the female figure as fragmented, bound and absorbed into domestic structures, where concepts of care, maintenance and instruction operate as quiet forms of power. Neill’s visual language is deliberately restrained, combining childlike imagery, themes of repetition, and ironic text that echoes instructional language. Domestic appliances become stand-ins for the body, creating hybrid forms that reveal how containment is normalised through familiarity. Her film-based works extend these concerns through silence, duration, and moving image. Through a practice grounded in surreal logic and feminist inquiry, Neill constructs a coherent world in which control is enacted not through spectacle, but through order, calm, and routine.
