Storm Clouds Over Antelope Island

Duncan Rawlinson photographed this scene at Antelope Island State Park in Utah, where rust-toned rocks anchor the foreground beneath a darkening sky. The Great Salt Lake stretches across the middle ground, its shallow channels reflecting muted tones of gray and white. Storm clouds build overhead, casting diffused light across the arid hillsides and the water’s edge. The composition contrasts the rough, weathered textures of the foreground boulders with the smooth, receding planes of the lake and distant terrain. Sparse vegetation clings to the rocky outcrops, emphasizing the dry, open character of the high-desert environment. The photograph captures a moment of atmospheric tension, where the weight of the approaching weather meets the calm of the land.

Petal Burst on Pink

Duncan Rawlinson made this abstract with AI as part of his work joining artificial intelligence with a photographer’s eye for color. Teardrop and petal shapes fan out from a low center point, spreading up and outward like a slow explosion. The forms overlap in translucent oranges, greens, purples, and blues, each shape shifting the color of the one beneath it. Thin contour lines ride across several petals, and small dots of red, blue, and green float in the open ground around the burst. A pale border holds the whole arrangement on its pink field. The palette is loud but the structure underneath is symmetrical and calm.

Indigo Drop and Nodal Ripple

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using photography and artificial intelligence. The work captures an indigo droplet striking water, producing concentric rings and radial structures similar to spherical harmonics—the patterns that appear when a sphere vibrates at specific frequencies. The liquid forms nodal lines that divide the surface into zones of high and low displacement, freezing a physical event in time. Deep blues and purples fill the frame, contrasted by lighter tones where the water reflects light. The central column rises sharply, topped by a single bead, while the surrounding ripples spread outward in symmetrical waves. This piece examines vibrational symmetry and the visual properties of fluid mechanics, rendering transient phenomena into a structured, repeatable form.

Ghostly Twirling

Duncan Rawlinson created this image with AI, part of his ongoing blend of contemporary photography and artificial intelligence. A ghost of a woman turns mid-step, and the motion renders her white gown as long streaks of light against a dark brown ground. Her wide-brimmed hat catches the brightest light in the frame, with a ribbon trailing off it like a brushmark. The figure reads somewhere between a long-exposure and an old painting, with the darks built up the way varnished oils go dark. Everything is in motion.

Glass Garden on Black

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence and digital art techniques. The work shows a fantastical garden where translucent, glass-like plants rise from textured ground in purple, green, coral, and magenta. Orbs and filament-like stems arch across a dark background, with light refracting through each form. The crystalline structures suggest a world where plant life takes on mineral qualities. This AI-generated artwork presents a speculative vision of botanical forms reimagined through digital synthesis.

Tangle of Rings and Ribbons

An AI-assisted abstract by Duncan Rawlinson, who works with artificial intelligence alongside his photography. Interlocking rings, loops, and rounded ribbon shapes pack into a dense cluster on a cream ground. The colors run saturated and warm: pinks, oranges, and yellows pushing against blues, greens, and a few near-black shapes that give the cluster its depth. Fine white contour lines track across several of the forms like engraving marks. A soft grain texture holds the whole surface together. The composition presses everything toward the center and leaves the edges open, with a single green dot low in the corner as a counterweight.

Red Sphere Through Green Beads

Duncan Rawlinson created this image using artificial intelligence, constructing a scene where thousands of green faceted spheres hang on taut cords, each strand blown horizontal by an unseen force. A red sphere tears through the field at speed, dragging a wake of disrupted beads and scattered cords along its entire path. The projectile has already punched a ragged hole through a standing screen of orange backed by deep blue at the right edge of the frame. Among the green strands, a single yellow bead and a line of violet beads break the dominant green. The work captures a frozen moment of high-velocity disruption, with color, motion, and structure locked in a single artificial instant.

Yellow Cups in Red Flow

Duncan Rawlinson created this work using artificial intelligence to explore a ceramic rupture. A rigid green door-slab has blown free, releasing a thick red flow studded with intact yellow vessels. The torrent carries cups and bowls across the frame, their forms preserved mid-motion. One cup has landed rim-down in a cushion of deep violet, creating a pronounced dimple without shattering. Blue handles, orange chips, and white hairline cracks punctuate the textured surfaces. The piece combines impossibly bright hues—phthalo green, cadmium red, lemon yellow, and lavender—into a frozen moment of controlled chaos. Duncan Rawlinson’s AI-assisted artwork examines the tension between fragility and force, using digital tools to construct a scene no kiln could produce.

Y2K Magazine Portrait in Chrome

Duncan Rawlinson created this AI-generated artwork that recreates the visual language of early 2000s Japanese street fashion magazines. The composition centers on a figure adorned with chrome eyelashes, glitter makeup, and translucent accessories set against a hot pink and black gradient. Lime green Japanese title text dominates the top of the frame, while electric blue and silver type clusters scatter across the layout in asymmetrical patterns. White and orange annotations, manga doodles, sticker graffiti, and QR-code fragments layer the design with the controlled chaos characteristic of FRUiTS and TUNE-era publications. Barcodes, pricing, and vertical side text complete the magazine aesthetic. The piece channels the hyper-saturated cyber-inspired look that defined turn-of-the-millennium Tokyo youth culture.

Molten Red Splits on Orange Anvil

Duncan Rawlinson created this artwork through artificial intelligence, exploring a vertical channel split by a central obstruction. A continuous column of red descends between deep blue canyon walls, meeting an orange protrusion at mid-height that divides the flow into twin braids before they reunite below. The opposing walls are textured with fine vertical striations, framing the red descent and the blue wedge carved behind the orange obstacle. Small accents of yellow, white, and violet mark the split point. The composition centers on the moment of division, where the falling form encounters resistance and adapts its path downward.
