Author Description

"Roxy Paine's conceptual works are provocative, challenging our perceptions and biases through a combination of complex layering, serious humor, romanticism, and a touch of irony. Second Nature examines Paine's monumental art-making machines and his naturalistic, botanical environments, exploring how they illustrate a reversal between the artist, whose repetitive processes are machinelike, and machines, which are programmed to emulate human art making."
