Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project

During my very short stay, one day, in the Phoenix area I got to go to the Scottsdale Library and see the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project. The monumental crochet installation resembling a living coral reef. The project celebrates the craft, and hopes to raise awareness of the connection between choices we make every day, global warming and the disappearance of the underwater gardens.
Created by Margaret and Christine Wertheim of the Institute for Figuring (IFF), the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project is "a woolly celebration of the intersection of higher geometry and feminine handicraft." The crochet reef has received worldwide acclaim through previous exhibitions in New York, Chicago, London, and Los Angeles.
