Exploring a particular part of the River Avon by canoe near where he lives in Bath has given him some of the inspiration for this body of work. Many of the pieces in this exhibition are suggestive of existing myths and spiritual beliefs but also include references from Patrick’s own life. The themes and materials are deeply personal.
More recently, inspiration has been gained from found objects such as a child’s chair or a bird cage given by friends. They sit alongside pieces from the natural world, creating an uneasy juxtaposition. Their role is to ask questions, make statements or suggest meanings that provoke thought. He says; ‘I like people to perhaps remember a past experience or reconsider an ingrained belief’.
Patrick Haines was born in Warsall and now lives and works in Bath and Bristol. His sculptures are held in private collections worldwide, including Miami, Korea and Basel.
