This installation teaches me a lot about the qualities of low-fired clay. The canals stay moist and therefore have helped the plants to grow. But they also helped to keep the grass and other plants in the vicinity, those stuck to the outer walls of the channels, green.

Grass, small yellow flowers (birdsfoot trefoil), clover, plantain now surround the clay channels. I assume that this vegetation keeps the canals moist and encourages the growth of the wheat, corn and soybeans. The much needed entanglement of all living things, including us, never ceases to amaze me. That said, some corn plants have been cut down. I suspect the geese in the neighbouring field or the hare or a groundhog, my neighbours!

The installation of the work "remurmurer la terre: hommage à Yvon Forget" began on Monday, May 30 with the shooting of a video for the Fabrique culturelle.

We have spread the channels in the form of mycorrhizae .

The wheat is rising!

All seeds have emerged. The rain of the last few days has favoured the establishment. The grass around the canals also needs to be tended.
