Description: Roxy Paine is best known for for his meticulous reproductions of compromised bits of nature and poisonous or hallucinogenic flora and fungi, which sprout from earthly dioramas or gallery walls. Here, with bluff, he turned verisimilitude on its ear. The title, bluff, is a pun on both the tree`s placement on a slight hill and on its status as a gleaming fake in a natural environment.
