Sensing the sky


In October 2013 I traveled to Haida Gwaii.  Once there I collected materials to build  a kite with.  At Agate Beach on the North of the island I constructed the kite and attempted to fly it.  Agate Beach faces what's called the Dixon Entrance.  The entrance into the often stormy body of water called Hecate Strait.  The same body of water that would see a large increase in oil tanker traffic if the new tar sands pipeline gets built.
