Paine is not interested in a romantic idea of nature existing in a "pure natural setting." He's more interested in how everything gets jumbled together, which he examines using subjects such as the fecund, beautiful and deadly poisonous fungus in our photograph.
This work is a beautiful counterpoint to Paine's large-scale works, a number of which were shown on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, proving that you don't need to have a monumental space to collect works by one of our favorite artists. This piece is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and has been exhibited both at the MoMA and the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art.
