KatzMayfields

KatzMayfields is a conceptual artistic collaboration between artists Anya Katz and Justin Mayfield. The duo is known for their work that often explores themes of urban decay, forgotten histories, and the ephemeral nature of memory. Their artistic practice encompasses a range of mediums including photography, sculpture, and mixed-media installations.

Their work frequently features found objects and discarded materials, repurposed to create new narratives and evoke a sense of nostalgia or melancholy. Katz and Mayfield often collaborate on site-specific projects, engaging with the unique characteristics of their chosen locations to inform the creation of their art. This approach allows their pieces to resonate with the history and atmosphere of the spaces they inhabit.

The collaboration began in the early 2010s, with their initial projects focusing on documenting abandoned industrial sites. Over time, their practice has evolved, incorporating more abstract elements and exploring a broader spectrum of human experience within urban environments. Their exhibitions have been featured in various galleries and public spaces, gaining recognition for their distinctive aesthetic and thought-provoking commentary on contemporary society. KatzMayfields continues to develop new projects, maintaining a focus on the intersection of art, environment, and personal reflection.
