ABSTRACT
The general objective of this research was not only
to process cornstalk into tesserae for the production
of mosaics, but it also included the actual experimentation
with the processed cornstalk in the execution of works.
It sought to explore possibilities of discovering an
individual expression. The works were produced under the
broad outlines of representational and nonrepresentational
works. The representational works included realistic
studies of observed scenes; attempt at fusion of space
with silhouettes; and stylised representation of figures
in a mimesis of child art. The nonrepresentational works
on the other hand included the portrayal of basic
geometric shapes; compositions with emphasis on interaction
of colours; and improvisations using water in shaping
forms that were eventually rendered in tesserae.
It may be concluded from the experiences derived from
the execution of works that cornstalk provides many
opportunities for self expression. The type of work any
artist can produce with it is dependent on the ability
of the artist in shaping and sticking it unto a surface,
