$195.00

I twist and turn.

Twenty-five strands of fiber gather and spiral until motion becomes structure. I am movement held still. A storm shaped into warmth.

I wrap the ears so the noise of the world softens and the inner voice rises. I spiral inward toward center and outward toward change.

I am chaos confined.

I am Purple Tornado.

Held in Stone

I created Purple Tornado in 2023 using twenty-five different yarns spiraled around a sculptural form. Freeform crochet does not follow a repeating pattern. Each stitch responds to texture, tension, and direction as the piece evolves.

The spiral construction creates strength and movement while building dimensional surface texture. The layered fibers produce warmth, visual rhythm, and sculptural depth.

This piece fully covers the ears and is designed for both warmth and artistic expression. It is wearable fiber sculpture shaped by motion and guided by instinct.
