Overview

A kind of sculpting and creation through the process of AI. It feels like taking away and making, all at once.

- Lilyillo

"Plans For Future Forms" was inspired by a drawing from the artist's childhood, where a simple two-legged chair was sketched. When shown to their father, an architect, he critiqued the lack of two legs, teaching a lesson in observing and understanding foreshortening and perspective—the ""correct"" and rational ways of seeing.
The collection represents an intentional exploration of process, with the ground serving as a critical starting point for exploring new forms. The use of grids and blueprints encourages a return to the origin of mark-making, inviting contemplation of the potential beauty. These elements do not just carry marks; they are intimately connected to them, supporting and framing them. The background thus transitions from a passive canvas to an active participant with its own agency, challenging the marks placed upon it and engaging in a dialogue with the mark maker.
In the chair/monument pieces, the artist employs techniques of in-painting and out-painting, using AI to replace human subjects with the objects they leave behind. This process resembles sculpting through AI, simultaneously removing and creating. These new monuments provoke reflection on what remains in our absence.
The primary goal of the series is to reflect on the marks we leave, challenging traditional rules and systems of creation and discovering new meanings and purposes through innovative tools like AI. Seated in their chair, a personal architecture and intimate form, the artist contemplates these new forms they have left behind, illustrating a profound interaction between creator, creation, and the tools used.
