Ravencaller : Silence is Never Empty
Smithbuilt Hats
Size 7 1/2
Ravencaller: Silence is Never Empty is more than a cowboy hat, it is a ritual object, a sculptural echo of the untamed land, and a voice in the wilderness. In many Indigenous and mythological traditions, the raven is a messenger, a trickster, a guardian of secrets and transformation. Today, in a time of ecological urgency and unraveling ecosystems, the raven becomes a symbol of warning and perhaps, of hope. This hat is named Ravencaller: Silence is Never Empty because to wear it is to acknowledge the need to summon attention to the changes in our environment. The declining health of our forests, the vanishing clarity of our skies, and the silencing of native species are calls we can no longer ignore. The raven, intelligent and watchful, reminds us that nature speaks — and we must listen. To call the raven is to ask for wisdom, for intervention, and for remembrance of our place on the land.
