Ghosts in the machine
The first image is a collage of pictures I found in a gutter and painted in the ghosts.
I mounted them onto a photo of pool water and framed it.
Little bit of kids paint from Target, masking tape and a dream.
I then photographed that art poorly in a bright room.
I then ran it thru AI, trimming and cropping it and asking the AI to generate a larger canvas of more art in my own style
These images have gone from literal garbage collage all the way to me asking AI to generate the same collage.
I love them all.
I am thrilled by this process and the outcome.
