From the mist-shrouded island of Haida Gwaii in Canada’s far north…I found a cowrie shell with stunning colors and patterns-a priceless artifact that clearly shows how nature’s bounty can be found even in its debris (notwithstanding the irony that these shells were once used as currency in parts of Africa and the South Pacific). “Shelly” is another tribute to the wonders of the natural world; while also representing the peculiar excitement-an amalgam of hope, awe, and revelation-that attends the discovery of something new and wild.
