Confabulation: Solar Plexus

Generative, generational art. Re-imaginings of family archival slide photography that might have you feeling nostalgic for something you've never had.

Completely AI generated, this portrait was created from a Stable Diffusion model trained on 70 pieces of my previous work. A process that has evolved over the course of 12 months: Mixing Kodak slide photography, and several different text2image AI models, the hope is to create a 100% generative image with "soul". Decades of history and shared experience are the birthplace of this portrait, something deeper than the prompt is the goal.
