Tin tea toys.

For those who know me, you know I love to sculpt. I’ve always worked with upcycled parts or clay, drawn to 3D shapes and forms. But space is a burden for a sculptor, and Ai solves that problem. Inspired by Mesoamerican pottery, dadaists, futurists, and early 1900s tin toys, Ai lets me create without storage issues. The process isn’t easy—figuring out prompts took time, and the generated junk was overwhelming. But I’ve curated a collection I’m truly proud of, and who knows, maybe one day I’ll recreate these in the physical world.
