A coral reef created by crochet
Earlier this week, I received an announcement in my Inbox about “Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef,” an exhibit that will open at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in October. It’s intended to raise awareness about the need to protect the world’s coral reefs. Promotional materials describe it as “a celebration of the intersection of mathematics and feminine handicraft, and a testimony to the disappearing wonders of the marine world.”
