In August 2022 my daugher was born and at the same time a whole host of AI products came on to the market. With the inevitable anxiety one feels about having these forms of AI programmes in the creative space and how it will change the future, it got me thinking about all the different paths that a life can go in from the point of birth. As a result, I came up with this idea about trying to paint the portraits of future people which I am calling “Foreshadows”. These portraits start off using pictures of my daughter and then use AI to digitally age and styilse them to create ghosts of potential people that I finally paint in oil.
