Upon the Beadrock

“I am here not only to evade…but to confront the bare bones of existence, the elemental and fundamental, the bedrock which sustains us” - Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

Our palms trace the grooves of our ancestors, taking our grandfathers crooked smiles with us through eternity. Flowers bud and bloom whilst streams gnaw away at river beds. Coral red branches pulsate through the uncharted forest grove. We meet here, at the bedrock of ourselves, in the threads which connect us all.  Verdant forms reminisce about something we recognise, a landscape we all know too well. Yet, the artist does not.  “Upon the Bedrock” did not exist before “Threads Between”. It did not come from the mind of the “Greats” nor from the humble fingertips of an artist. It was born from artificial intelligence, prompted by the environmental essayist Edward Abbey’s words, written above. The artificially generated figures guide us through our primitive past onwards the uncertain possibilities of the future of human creation.
