Nurture

Showcases a new process by which a back catalogue of the artist’s sculptural work is used to train an AI model to generate entirely new sculptures (“Objects”) inspired exclusively by the artist’s own work.

These new sculptures (output in image format) are then passed through ComfyUI, an AI tool that offers granular control over a creative output based on custom ‘workflows’ that enable users to achieve a diverse range of specific end goals, powered by Stable Diffusion and LoRA systems.

Using ComfyUI to produce an array of environments via repeated tweaking of a set of pre-determined ‘ecological’ parameters, we built a system that, through simple. small-scale adjustments, could deliver vastly different outputs.

Such a system has the scope to evolve into something more sophisticated, capable of self-perpetuation with minimal external input or creative direction.
