Susan Lenz is a fiber artist who creates imaginative and novel works, especially those in which she upcycles found objects over problematic vintage quilts into fashionable and fun mandalas. This latest piece is not a mandala but, to me, it echoes the landfall of Hurricane Milton that spun off several tornadoes while crossing Florida last week. In it, she has used a portion of a hand-stitched, stained quilt -- topped with a piece of blue netting to define the tornado area. Then, found objects (surplus doodads that can't be used in a mandala) were added by hand-stitching each one down on to the fabric base. Ultimately, she's been so successful in conveying the sense of motion and fury (as well as a suggested 'eye') through the piece. Bravo, Susan!
