Amanita Muscaria #16
A meticulously crafted sculpture by Roxy Paine, *Amanita Muscaria #16* renders the iconic red-capped fly agaric mushroom with striking botanical precision using polymer and oil paint. The work reflects Paine's ongoing investigation into the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, replicating nature's forms through entirely synthetic means. Glass and wood elements ground the piece, adding layers of material contrast that heighten the tension between organic subject matter and manufactured construction.
