Fiona Mathison, Artist and Lecturer in Intermedia, (formerly tapestry) at Edinburgh College of Art writes:
Philip Sanderson’s work is also based on drawing, a found engineering drawing. From it follows an exploration of the ‘relationship between image and process’ which gives the work that elusive and wonderful quality. What is it? The weft has been carefully developed to create the work in a language which is above all textile. The uniformity of the weft thread suggests the industrial, but the shape becomes more pictorial, ‘ creating an interesting relationship between represented and literal surfaces’. It makes you smile.}
