David Haines’s work is concerned with the intersection between hallucination and landscape and architecture as the site of psychic disturbance. His work combines forms such as video, sound, computer animation and the molecular and vibrational world of perfumes.
David Haines and Joyce Hinterding live and work in the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia and work both collaboratively and independently.
