Meet Edward David Heath II: AKA Raven, a Fiber Artist at Heart

Thursday, February 16th, 2012

Shavin' Raven

Ask around OWS about Edward David Heath II and you won’t hear a thing. Ask about Raven and you’ll hear everything. Everything good. Since the beginning of OWS in Zuccotti park Raven Bluefeather, a Unitarian Minister and Native American Shaman has charmed those who have met him including the media here on the left at TotallyCoolPix.com.  Also a member of TechOps working group, Raven shows his skillz in design, building and codeing sites and other digital media on his site, Raven2099. A towering figure, always in black with his signature cowboy hat, Raven has defined the prototypical Occupier with his passion, devotion and longevity. But with #OWS Fiber Arts Raven has once again reinvented himself – this time as a master maker of 1000 paper cranes. Working at Charlotte’s Place over the past few weeks he and a few close friends managed to fold 1000 for another friend to fulfill a Japanese proverb – one that grants a person a wish, should they have folded for them 1000 origami cranes. And as paper is a fiber as well as wool or any other variety, we’re more than happy to have Raven as a member of the group. Say hi when you see him. He’s the gentlest giant around.
