Lily Mayfield Is Not Your Wife

One of our guest artists in our second show is one Lily Mayfield, photographer.
I find her work compelling because it's intimate but strangely detached.
There are personal issues, relationships, but with a cleanliness that reminds me of Hitchcock.
She is a domestic femme fatale because you can't tell if she is sad in these images, or if she is plotting someone's death.
Either way, there's a great tension in some of these photos that I find intriguing. They bring to mind issues of relationships, the distance between people, how the smallest moment can be a crisis, and a woman's role in a modern household.
I think that if one were a thoughtful person...one would find a great deal to think in her photographs.
Check out some of her work on her myspace page on our friends list and come to our December show to think in person.
