Peter DeCamp Haines: Archaic Echoes

Boston Sculptors Gallery presents Peter DeCamp Haines: Archaic Echoes, on view October 5 through November 5, 2023. The exhibition features his grand Archaeology of the Subconscious, a collection of 1000 small abstract bronzes the sculptor has been working on for forty-five years. DeCamp Haines explains further: “My interest in psychology and anthropology has deeply informed my art. The clearest expression of this is a series of 1000 elemental bronze ‘artifacts,’ begun in 1978 and added to yearly. Metaphorically, I think of the collection as An Archaeology of the Subconscious – universal archetypes that recall the archaic materiality of our ancestors. The presentation is on a 6’ x 22’ table, arranged as a collection of ancient objects, tools, or effigies that might be seen in an old museum. I work in a modernist tradition. For me, the process of sculpting is not the execution of a design. Rather, it is a search for shapes and images that appeal to my taste. From the miasma of a lump of wax, objects emerge like images seen in an inkblot or in the night sky. I refine and essentialize the sculptures with an eye to true form, negative space, and composition.” Abstraction is a way to convey the relationship between man and ancient universal sources. ﻿ -Isamu Noguchi Peter DeCamp Haines: Archaic Echoes runs concurrently with Eric Sealine: Still, Life. ﻿SOWA First Friday Receptions October 6 &amp; November 3, 5 – 8:30pm Reception &amp; Artist Talks Saturday, October 21, 2 – 5pm Artists’ talks begin at 3pm Artist Meet &amp; Greets October 21 &amp; 29, November 4, 11am – 5pm
