Journey 004 – Kaua’i, HI

Steve Ebert — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 23:12:59 +0000

For the fourth installment of our Journeys photo essay series we follow along with Shwood Collaborator Tara Michie on a 3-day trip to Kaua’i, Hawai’i. Tara has spent most of her life on the Big Island and O‘ahu, so going to Kaua‘i for the weekend is always an exciting little adventure. Traveling between the islands is pretty easy. It takes less than half an hour from Honolulu to Lihu‘e airport and all that’s really needed is a quick carry-on with a few essentials. The best part about island-hopping is connecting with friends and spending the weekend doing as the locals do.

To see more of Tara’s photos and read about her perspective on island-hopping visit shwoodshop.journeys.com.

Rabbit Island

“Rabbit Island is a remote, 90-acre, forested island located in Lake Superior, Michigan. I lived on the island for over a month in the summer of 2011 breaking ground on a sustainable artist residency program. Working with a group of volunteers and with the support of our Kickstarter supporters we have already completed an Adirondack shelter which will serve as the main camp, a kitchen, library, fully stocked toolshed, and more. I’ll be returning to the island in 2012 with the goal of completing a small treehouse studio and creating work for a forthcoming exhibition related to Rabbit Island and the residency program.” – Andrew Ranville
