Roxy Paine’s works are discourses in epistemology, a concept defining any given era’s total body of knowledge.  Most interesting to Paine, is that the episteme determines what questions can and, more importantly, cannot be asked within a collective knowledge field.  Paine describes his sculptures as a translation between disparate realms of data and knowledge, testing contemporary principles of potential, human rigor, experimentation and chance.  Paine’s work is a trajectory of several running wavelengths: Art Making Machines, Fields, Replicants, Specimen Cases, Dendroids and, the most current, Dioramas.
