Runner Up in the Wearable Technology Award
in the 2017 World of WearableArt Awards
 

 
LUX OPERON 1.3  
Avant-garde Section  
2017 World of WearableArt Awards  
 
Artist Statement:  
Lux operons are a series of genes controlling chemical reactions to produce bio-luminous pigments within some bacteria and marine animals.  
 
I have utilised a combination of machine and hand-sewn techniques, as well as a 3D plastic extruder pen to produce this piece. Each part is designed to represent an element of texture that portrays my interpretation of Lux Operons - a series of genes controlling chemical reactions to produce bio-luminous pigments within some bacteria and marine animals.  
 
Lux Operon represents the duality of visual expression observed in one form or another by an array of living creatures, be they some form of marine animals, or be they a form of bacteria, or be they an imagined entity within ourselves, they have the enviable ability to produce bio-luminescence as a reaction to their environment. As humans we need technology, our own form of luminescence, to utilise and enhance our clothing, our accessories, our immediate environment… a process I am very interested in in the hopes if mimicking this aesthetics within my work.
