"There are four plaques each describing part of the artist's inspiration for the work. Their titles are: Farming, Hybridization, Construction and Osage Orange Trees. "
Three full-sized prototypes were created, each with different kernel patterns, from which molds were made. Finished ears were rotated to provide a variety of orientations so that an observer is hard-pressed to find any matching kernel patterns.
Casting took place at a concrete manufacturer in the state of Georgia and the pieces were delivered to the Ohio site in four truckloads for installation. Each ear of corn weighs 1500 lbs. The foundation for each ear is a 3' deep concrete-filled hole.
