Working with AI image generation, I make images that create narrative tension without resolution or explanation. The viewer is invited to fill in the blank — the image acts as a portal into something unresolved. Another way of putting this: my work is about the unknown — not as a problem, but as a condition. The images both show and withhold, providing clues but not answers. The viewer finishes the story.

I love art that makes me think; I hate art that tells me what to think. I always try to do work of the first sort. My sources are dreams, memories, and the free association of ideas — material so interior and fleeting that it vanishes almost immediately. AI image generation is fast enough to catch it. My creative process starts with this subconscious flotsam and sets a marker at some distance, inviting the viewer to bridge the gap.

My background is in economic history — finding patterns hidden in large bodies of incomplete and noisy data. I do much the same here. That other work lives at markwgeiger.com.
