This collaboration came about when I took a photograph of a Mark Soppeland painting and held onto it on my iPhone. On a lark I manipulated it using a prompt (in Leonardo.ai,) and found one of the results to be tatanlizing because it inscribed the prompt within the field of his complex abstract painting. I asked him if he’d like to see the various results, including this tryptich. He next gave me permission to show the image to the public.
