​Bio

Claire Maxfield (b.1967) is an artist based in the South West of England. Working primarily with photography, alongside drawing and mixed media, her practice explores interpersonal relationships and the dynamics of action, inaction, and reaction. Her work is process-led and often developed through long-form projects.

Alongside her artistic practice, Maxfield has professional experience in photographic archiving, including work with analogue collections at Autograph ABP, Rivington Place, and the Sunil Gupta + Charan Singh Archive, which includes work by Tessa Boffin.​​​
