Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project
By Rachel Choi – 4 CommentsI recently read about the “Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project” that has just opened to the public for viewing at The Gallery at Scottsdale Civic Center Library. It is a fabulous collection of crocheted coral reefs from thousands of volunteers around the world! Not only is a great accomplishment, huge attraction and super stunning to look at, it has a serious message behind it that we are losing natural coral reefs. This project is inspired by Margaret and Christine Werthheim, who are also co-creators of the “Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project.”
Here are some photos of the exhibit, which I think are just stunning!

I can definitely see that they were crocheted, but the way they resemble coral reefs so much is just amazing. This work isn’t just beautiful but it also has meaning. I wish I had the chance to see it in person!
G’day Rachel
