About
Based in Hastings and St Leonards, Megan Neville is an artist and practitioner whose work explores her experience of living with Type One Diabetes. Combining her skills with colour and texture, Megan creates work about uneasy topics in her life and raises awareness of them. Trained at the Royal School of Needlework, Megan uses various hand embroidery techniques to produce visually explosive designs. Colour is an important factor in her work as she wants people who wear her products to feel unashamed about living with diabetes, but to celebrate the small wins and battles that those with the condition face. Through her work, Megan aims to bring the ‘mundane’ into a new light.
Ordinary Oddness is a collection of accessible bags designed for those with diabetes. Celebrating fun, colour and the everydayness of the condition, Megan Neville works with a range of vibrant materials and colours to produce high-quality, high-end bags with enough storage for diabetic medical supplies. Inspired by experiences of growing up with the condition and looking at cell structures, Megan has worked to create detailed, cellular-like patches and sequin embellished covers for her designs.
