Perfectly imperfect, A Well Worn Hat, with Stories to Tell I, is painted with acrylic paint and pencil, onto an old cedar house shingle. The shingle has several layers of paint - mint, yellow and cream.
Measuring 12.5cm x 14.8cm and 0.8cm thick, this piece comes as it is, for you to frame, or attach a 3M strip to and fix directly to the wall.
The hat gathered feathers, not by chance, but by paying attention. A white tuft from an owl at dusk, a mottled grey left on a rainy ledge, a sun bleached quill caught in the wind. Each one tucked into the band, not for show, but for remembrance. They marked moments, silent mornings, sudden laughter, roads taken and detours embraced. The hat wore time softly, brim frayed, crown shaped by weather and wonder. Now it rests, still and full. But if you listen, you’ll hear the hush of far off places, a life of joy and cherished. Feather by feather, it remembers.
