Yesterday when I arrived along the harbour I noticed a large bulk carrier docked. Something attracted my eye in terms of a drawing and luckily a suitable view was open. I began planning under a low grey November sky. As I sat working things sprang to life and I noticed lights tracing a path all the way from the ship and up the elevator across the road and into the massive concrete storage silos. Moving backwards in my mind I traced the path of the cargo before it arrived in Halifax. I wondered if what I was seeing was the most recent summer harvest of 2016 arriving unceremoniously after a cross country trip. Very interesting to draw and very interesting to imagine the journey.
