The Cosmic Rose – One-of-a-Kind Freeform Crochet Wool Art Hat

$775.00

I am The Cosmic Rose.
I exist where beauty and pain are no longer opposites, but the same enduring force.

I am formed from a single, continuous spiral of hand-dyed red wool—my petals turning endlessly, without beginning or end. This spiral is my breath, my pulse. Red carries the language of blood: life sustained, life wounded, life remembered. I hold both bloom and injury within my form.

Between my petals, fine strands of silk and wool are stitched in prismatic micro-lines, catching light as emotion catches the body. These colors are not decoration; they are evidence—of interior states, unseen spectra, and the complexity of feeling that cannot be named but must be held.

My structure is deliberate and heavy. I am built upon a lattice of strength, designed to endure. I do not collapse. I rest upon the head as armor, not disguise—an object that acknowledges vulnerability while refusing erasure. My weight is intentional. It asks the wearer to feel presence, grounding, and responsibility.

I am worn by those who understand that to live fully is to accept contradiction. I belong to angels who remain in the world, who carry grief without surrendering wonder, and who choose to stay open despite the cost.

I am not an accessory.
I am a ritual object.
I am a record of survival.

he Cosmic Rose is a one-of-a-kind freeform crochet wearable sculpture created in 2023. This work exists at the intersection of fiber art, symbolic sculpture, and ritual adornment. Drawing on the rose as an archetype of beauty, sacrifice, and mortality, the piece embodies the dual forces of life and pain as inseparable states of being.

The form is constructed through a continuous spiral of hand-dyed red wool yarn, creating petal-like ridges that evoke both organic bloom and circulatory motion. Red functions here as a symbolic language—representing blood as life force, ancestry, devotion, and wound. Interstitial spaces between the petals are articulated with micro-stitching in a silk and wool blend, producing prismatic shifts of color that reference emotional complexity, internal states, and unseen spectra.

Structurally, the hat is built upon a dense latticework foundation, giving the object substantial weight and permanence. This intentional heaviness situates the piece not as accessory, but as armor—an object of protection, endurance, and transformation. The labor-intensive freeform technique resists replication, ensuring the work’s singularity and reinforcing its status as an autonomous sculptural artifact.

The Cosmic Rose is conceived for a wearer who occupies both vulnerability and strength—an angelic figure grounded in human experience, capable of holding grief and joy simultaneously. As wearable art, it invites the body into dialogue with symbolism, asking the viewer to consider adornment as a site of meaning, resilience, and embodied narrative.
