Process-driven material
Potato starch based bioplastic is added onto linen fabric. For each pedal of the canopy 250ml Water, 25ml Vinegar, 25ml Glycerol, and 38g Potato starch are heated, spread over the canvas, and dried on a supporting mesh. In the humid Hong Kong climate, the dried canvas is prone to deforming when kept outdoors.
