Lucy Pearl Petts’ work is a response to the chaotic and alarming experiences faced by people living through the Anthropocene, such as the climate apocalypse, unjust governments and civil unrest. The collection Chaos attempts to bring a sense of joy and hope despite these hurdles, materialising in the form of amulets and tokens of luck. However, they could also be fittingly perceived as panic buttons for life. The pieces aim to initiate vital conversations of positive reform or provide comfort to the wearer with their inviting iridescent colours, alluring forms and hidden ornamentation.

The pieces are made from plant-based biodegradable 3D printed plastic adorned with marbled aluminium and small silver embellishments. Petts wants the pieces to adorn the body on an oversized and large scale but without the heavy weight, they select materials to adhere to these forms and ideas, with wearable practicality considered.

Petts’ practice draws inspiration from both analogue and digital design methods alongside maximalist queer aesthetics. They create collages from magazines and articles inspired by world news events - these are distorted digitally to create a swirling chasm.
