Working at the intersection between nature and technology, Paine
creates art that exposes the paradoxes inherent in our relationships
with the natural and industrial worlds. Paine's pieces can take the
form of startlingly realistic representations of plant life or
robotic art-manufacturing machinery, though his best-known
sculptures-stainless steel trees installed in natural
settings-straddle both approaches. This bookpresents works from each
series of Paine's oeuvre to date and provides critical analysis by
Eleanor Heartney. The artist's works raise existential questions
about our place in the natural order and the extent to which we can
draw a firm line between the processes of nature and those of
technology. This beautifully-designed volume will introduce readers
to one of the most exciting artists at work today.
