Images from a single idea, painting, photo, can be multi layered with computers, cameras, markers, copiers, scissors, glue, paint, dirt, AI and....there you have it! First there was just pigment from plants that was blown from the mouth on to a cave wall. Then some finger drawings on the cave. Later came brushes with better paint on canvas. Then came the camera and printers and painters revolted. Then came the computer and AI. Photographers, Painters, People revolted. Just different tools for the imagination to use.
