This painting is based on a photograph taken during a ‘GTT’ Technology Transfer Group at the artist's family’s farm when farmers from the region gathered together amid the land to exchange farming techniques. Since the occupation of Araucania at the end of the 19th century, the region has been known as the ‘granary of Chile’, owing to its prolific and intensive cultivation of wheat, oats and rapeseed. Christiane Pooley remembers the landscape vividly: the different shades of green and yellow, the smell of warm earth, the sound of the wind shaking the seeds. Her childhood was marked by the cycles of agriculture.
