Luminox
Glow stones borrow daylight and give it back badly. That uneven return is useful. I am testing whether the jacket can change after dark without a single LED.
Charge and fade testing
Phosphorescent glow stones, black wool, thread, removable backing, daylight and dark testing
OBJECT RECORD
What exists, and what it does.
Glow stones borrow daylight and give it back badly. That uneven return is useful. I am testing whether the jacket can change after dark without a single LED.
The work is in charge-cycle testing. Nothing shown here should be mistaken for a finished garment.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.
Daylight macro, dark charge test, and quiet worktable 35mm
CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM
Make uneven afterglow read as part of the surface while keeping the stones secure.
Size sorting, temporary stitching along chalk arcs, timed daylight exposure, and low-light comparison
Daylight charges the material.
Darkness edits the arrangement.
CONSTRUCTION RECORD
Where the surface meets the body.
Materials
Phosphorescent glow stones, black wool, thread, removable backing, daylight and dark testing
Weight or current measure
Weight is not recorded for this unfinished work.
Construction
Size sorting, temporary stitching along chalk arcs, timed daylight exposure, and low-light comparison
Wear
Wearability is being tested only on partial panels and a supported dress form.
Care
Store test panels flat, dark, and separated from finished work.
