The Corn Keeps on Growing is a body of work created in response to the loss of a loved one and the acknowledgment that death, no matter how painful, is a universal truth of life. However, with death also comes life. The world is an ever continuing cycle and it is destructive to think that when a significant person in one's life passes that the world stops as well. Everything happens at the same time. While a loved one is on her deathbed, the crops on her farm were thriving in the August heat and sunshine. They are so incredibly alive, the pinnacle of growth and celebration. The people driving past her house on the road she lived could peek into the windows and see a family surrounding her in her last moments, but it is more likely that they just drove past, not noticing the house in the first place. Time keeps on ticking, the corn keeps on growing.

Over the summer of 1967, archaeologists from Syracuse University excavated a Haudenosaunee site located in the Howlett Hill area of the Town of Onondaga. Their efforts uncovered a wealth of information about Haudenosaunee society, culture, technology, burial practices and-- significantly--long house construction, revealing the remains of an impressive 320 foot-long structure, one of the largest long houses ever discovered in New York State. In this engaging talk, Dr. Sara French, professor of Landscape Architecture at SUNY ESF will provide an overview of the Howlett Hill site, its excavation, and the development, construction, and significance of the incredible long houses that defined it.
