The results of an experimental study of flow in a small aspect ratio liquid crystal cell are presented where the dimensions of the device are on the same scale as the width of a human hair. This system is found to display wide ranging dynamical behavior, from simple oscillations to seemingly homogeneous turbulence. Through a systematic study of the low-dimensional behavior we uncover an organizing center for the dynamics.
