Anna Mayer's art practice is sculptural and social, with an emphasis on hand-built ceramics. Her methodology emerges from enacting formative site-specific analogue firing projects in Southern California. Mayer revels in the fact that ceramics historically has been used to create highly functional items as well as wildly symbolic objects. Her work is part of this lineage, with equal concern for the future, and a dramatically shifting climate, ecological and political. Mayer recently had solo exhibitions at AWHRHWAR, Adjunct Positions, and A-B Projects, all in Los Angeles, and in early 2021 opened a solo exhibition at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft. Other exhibitions include NCECA's 2021 Annual as invited artist, Ballroom Marfa (TX), Kendall Koppe (UK), Commonwealth & Council (CA), Hammer Museum (CA), and Glasgow International (UK). She has a 14-year collaborative practice with Jemima Wyman called CamLab, which has exhibited at MOCA Los Angeles and Hammer Museum. Mayer is currently Assistant Professor of Sculpture at University of Houston.
