Born from the quiet strength of hope and the breath of a single wish, Purple Rain No62 — The Keeper of Wishes carries its purpose gently.
Its body is sculpted from stabilized and richly dyed red leaf maple (Acer rubrum), transformed into a deep, royal purple as a tribute to the late, great Prince. The grain glows like storm-lit velvet, pulsing with a rhythm all its own.
Held within its chest is a single, delicate dandelion puff (Taraxacum officinale), preserved as the lone wish this guardian vows to protect—a reminder that even the smallest hopes can reshape the world.
The head is carved from dense and enduring desert ironwood (Olneya tesota), giving the bot an ancient, grounded presence. Its eyes, hand-carved from black walnut burl (Juglans nigra), take the form of snow-capped mountains, symbolizing depth and clarity. These mountains rest before a sky of radiant mother-of-pearl, shifting softly with the light.
Throughout the sculpture, brass and mother-of-pearl inlays add subtle flashes of brilliance—tiny constellations marking the bot as a keeper of something sacred.
It stands proudly upon a base of Gaboon ebony (Diospyros crassiflora), dark as midnight rain, grounding the piece with quiet resolve.
Together with its stand, Purple Rain No62 measures 16¼ inches tall and 5 inches wide—a slender monument to wishes, music, and the enduring magic found in both wood and wonder.
