• As a textile innovator, I am inspired by the notion of visualising the invisible. I have embarked on a journey to construct and control a piece that constantly evolves, continually changing colour in front of our eyes. I call this voyage PHNX.

  

  Through the expansion of many types of ink, I have developed an original take on dynamic chromic imaging. The use of focused thermal beams, sequentially controlled through computer software, allows my pieces to take on lives of their own.


  The technology behind PHNX has the added potential to break ground in the area of healthcare, sports and wearable sensors.
