Capital Worming Through Threads

An ongoing experiment in AI, authorship & labor — worn on the body. Ten core designs drawn from original paintings, refined through AI, unified by a messiness that serves as visual signature. Printed on OEKO-TEX & GOTS certified twill silk through an ethically-vetted manufacturer.

// Mrs Luva Luva

Mrs Luva Luva is the working name of a Brighton-based artist whose practice moves between painting, print, and small-run object-making. Luvaland is the commercial arm of that practice — a place where the work leaves the studio and meets bodies, wallets, and weather.

Every piece sold here began as an original painting or mixed-media work, then passed through a deliberate chain of tools — scanning, digital layering, AI refinement, print onto certified silk — that mirrors (on a tiny scale) the processes used by much larger fashion companies. The question the work keeps circling: can an individual artist play the same game as the big houses without being flattened by it?

Studios, paint tables, market stalls, spreadsheets, shipping labels, checkout flows — they're all part of the work. The site you're on right now is part of the work too.

// Studio & contact

// What you're buying into

Printed on 14mm twill silk (scarves) and silk/cotton doubles (hankies), through an ethically-vetted manufacturer holding OEKO-TEX and GOTS certifications. Small runs, double-sided printing, finished by hand. Limited quantities — when a design sells out, it's gone until I decide whether to rerun it.

Every sale directly funds the next round of the experiment, and pays for the next batch of silk.

// Capital Worming Through Threads

This collection is part of an ongoing essay/experiment (2024–present) asking whether an individual artist can leverage AI and global supply chains by the same rules as larger companies — rather than being displaced by them.

Ten core designs were pulled from my own paintings and mixed-media works, then iteratively refined with AI image tools. The resulting "messiness" — the seams where generation breaks down — is the visual signature of the collection, not a flaw to be hidden.

Manufacturing was sourced through Alibaba, with due-diligence on ethical certifications (OEKO-TEX, GOTS, fair labor standards) conducted with LLM assistance. The chosen supplier meets all requirements while accepting low minimum orders.

The fashion imagery extends the experiment: after shooting the scarves on my own body, I used AI to replace myself with a generated model — a small, uncomfortable gesture toward the broader erasure happening across creative industries.
