dc.description.abstractThe 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,en_US
