Abominable Print

"ABOMINABLE" Abhorrent, foul, accursed, detestable, hateful, horrible, loathsome, odious, offensive, execrable, nauseous, impure. (delectable, desirable, admirable, enjoyable, lovable, charming, delightful, grateful, pure). This piece and each work in this collection are inspired by my love of philosophy and an enduring passion for learning. I'm particularly fascinated by the intersection of art and technology, and how these fields can merge to create something that transcends traditional boundaries. My work is influenced by the idea that art is a form of language, and through the manipulation of my personal photographs using artificial intelligence and digital painting tools, I aim to visually express complex linguistic concepts. I hope that viewers will be drawn into a contemplative space where they question the nature of language, art, and technology. My intention is to evoke a sense of curiosity and wonder about the ways in which art can communicate ideas that go beyond words. By visually representing words from a thesaurus, I hope to challenge viewers to think about the relationship between language and visual representation, and how technology can play a role in this dialogue. I chose to work with digital tools and AI because they allow me to explore the boundaries of artistic creation in ways that traditional media cannot. The subject matter—words from a thesaurus—offers a structured yet flexible framework for creative expression, allowing each piece to be a unique exploration of a single concept. My style blends the personal with the abstract, using photographs from my life as a foundation and transforming them into something that speaks to universal ideas. This approach aligns with my belief that art is both a personal journey and a universal language.
