I build the tools to create these images. The toolmaking is as much a part of the process as the experimenting that follows. I start with data as the raw material, something recorded from the real world, and turn it into something else entirely. No images are generated by AI.
Every work is printed on Hahnemühle Museum Etching, a 350 gsm, 100% cotton archival fine art paper, and mounted on Alupanel, ready to hang. Printing and mounting by Pixel Perfect.
