Maize Matter: Cultivation of a Corn Husk Composite

As my BA (Hons) final major project, I have constructed a series of composite materials using agricultural waste and natural dying techniques.

My work responds to the global needs of using waste materials as alternatives to current unsustainable and non-renewable materials. By repurposing waste materials generated during the production of maize, this project is engaged in creating new functional materials with an aim to eliminate damaging agricultural activities simultaneously providing an extra income for farmers and developing communities worldwide.
