Irrigation
Title: Irrigation
Year: 1980s
Measures: 38 x 28 cm
Technique: Drawing, schematic drawing of irrigation of Francisco Benitez, personal collection of the artist
Growing up in Pichingal, the artist saw his father's water and take care of the issues of physical, social, and bureaucratic of this form of irrigation. Was going with a shovel to fill in the garden and the crops of apples, coordinating with other commoners-time and turns to water. In a drawer I kept maps and papers. Now that he no longer is and that it is the responsibility of the new generations to maintain the practice of irrigation, and the living earth, his maps and notes have been very useful to know how to do it.
