Receiving both the Daler Rowney Drawing Prize (2009) and the Mann Group Drawing Prize (2010), Beatrice Haines graduated this summer from studying MA Printmaking at the Royal College of Art. Haines’s work focuses on relationships between the scientific and emotional, the grotesque and beautiful, the micro and macro and life and death. Objects that often have invested personal resonance are raised to the status of relics despite their sometimes mundane appearance. Distortion of scale aids this metamorphosis; a human gallstone becomes a vast meteor and scuffs on a carpet become an aerial landscape. Haines is currently showing work at Viewpoint Gallery (London) and has a solo show this September at Mount House Gallery, (Marlborough).
