The “Whispers of the Monolith” series by Duncan Rawlinson is a tribute to the artistic vision behind the Utah Monolith, channeling the same intrigue and minimalist aesthetic into a new form. Rawlinson uses a blend of photography and AI imaging to craft sculptures that stand as stark, compelling figures against the desert backdrop, much like the Utah installation stood amidst the red rocks. These pieces, inspired by the unknown artists of the monolith, evoke a sense of deliberate placement and purposeful design, capturing the interaction between human-made structures and the natural environment. The series reflects on the interplay of light, shadow, and form, celebrating the bold statement made by the Utah Monolith creators while pushing the boundaries of digital art and photography.
