Totomoxtle is a new material that harnesses the brilliant spectrum of colour seen in the husks of heirloom corn. Varying from deep purples, to soft creams, Totomoxtle showcases the natural colour range of species of native corn that exist in Mexico. Each husk is carefully cut and peeled off the cob, ironed flat and glued onto a paper pulp or textile backing. At this point the material is ready to be cut by hand or laser into small pieces that are reassembled to make marquetry for furniture or interior surfaces.
