Maddy Minnis
Hallucinated worlds—AI visions that evolve into new species, ecosystems, and realities.
Originally from the American Southwest and now living in Central America, Minnis draws on the amphibious compulsions that drive her to long-term immersions in nature and an iterative process that loops between analog and digital: scanning her photographs, printing, rescanning, and reworking them through AI.
The work is deeply infused with Minnis’s devotion to the natural world, creating a dialogue between lived experience and synthetic imagination—where the pastoral returns not as nostalgia, but as a site where ecological curiosity and reimagination converge, somewhere between valleys uncanny and not.
This collection is saturated with memories and longing as she explores thresholds in the search for connection, timelessness, and awe. It engages with something organic and relatable in the artifacts of the dreamlike way AI communicates.
