I started experimenting with AI tools as a way to generate art that I could cut up and repurpose. This was probably the most successful iteration. I started by collating several images together and then feeding that into an AI tool to blend them together.
I would take those outputs (in batches of 5-10) and collage those together into new forms, and color and paint atop them.
This went for a few rounds until I got an image I was satisfied with.
"acension station" was a concept from some writings of mind, a hub world and trading center for the Sol system, (our solar system)
