Abstract or Description:

"Colour That Lasts" is a collaboration between RCA and the University of Manchester, which explores sustainable structural colouration in textiles. The team worked with a nature-derived biopolymer, a cellulose derivative (HPC) extracted from plants. HPC can form liquid crystalline forms in water solutions, creating a highly malleable material. By fine-tuning the temperature, composition, and fabrication conditions, we can achieve a full-colour palette ranging across the whole visible spectrum. Our artwork "Wings of Light" showcases a series of 3d printed HPC sequins embroidered onto textiles, revealing the interaction of light with different microscopic orders. A short video is produced for the installation piece displaying the production process and our interpretation behind the creation of "Wings of Light" will accompany the exhibited tangible materials meets design research.
