While canvass at the Manchester School of Art , Bowker develop PdCl2 , a Carbon emission perception ink , before going on to study printed textiles at the Royal College of Art London . Her PHNX way pieces are elaborate square costumes dye with an ink that responds to air contamination , ultraviolet , heat , moisture , and aviation detrition , so that the plume exchange coloration with both the climate and the wearer ’s motion . In an audience withDezeen , Bowker suggest that she could project an outfit that react to very minute changes in geography :
If you came to me and said ‘ Lauren , I want my silk jersey to change colour when I ’m at Oxford Street , then when I ’m at Baker Street I want to be a dissimilar colour ’ , I would go out and map the fluctuations in the environs of each tube place then I would create you an ink that respond to those environments .
And the inks do n’t need to be added to feathers ; they can be painted , screenprinted , dyed , or sprayed on various stuff .
