They're great, but they're not entirely accurate. But crochet is by far the best way to do it. And in the process of doing this project, we have done it all over world, in countries and cities on five continents-- from New York to Chicago, Sydney,
on a body and seeing how they would drape on a woman's body. She covers everything in crochet , whether it's a wall, a sofa, a car, a skateboard.
Evidence didn't point to that uh and outlined that she has access to a prison lounge, an exercise yard, and to activities such as crocheting . Now, at that point, the triple killer who is was watching the hearing via video link closed her eyes and shook her head. Now,
So remember, since this. knitting or crocheting these completely non-functional items.
So I did blue with brown on top, printed them, and they actually just use latex paint. So this is crocheted .
The project we're most well-known for is the Crochet Coral Reef Project. We're literally crocheting a coral reef. And it is now the biggest participatory science and art project on the planet.
on a body and seeing how they would drape on a woman's body. And she does these amazing crochet balls.
Like, for the video that we all just worked on together, I had this idea of spiders in my head. And Tess had this kind of giant crochet piece in her runway show, and it kind of looked like a spider web. It just all felt right to me.
But why on earth are you doing it in wool? What is the point of doing a crochet reef? Why not chisel it in stone, carve it in marble, paint it?
One thing-- my father had a very specific plan. My mother taught me how to sew and crochet and be a good housewife, in case I had to do that. But my father gave me the courage to think and dream about being anything I wanted to be.
So I did blue with brown on top, printed them, and they actually just use latex paint. And I don't know if anybody knows how to crochet , but maybe your grandma does. , And my idea with this one was
projects that engage hundreds and if not thousands of people in these kinds of practices. The project we're most well-known for is the Crochet Coral Reef Project. We're literally crocheting a coral reef.
I have to put in an outrageous product placement here. We have long dreamed of doing a book about the Crochet Coral Reef project, and we in fact have a Kickstarter campaign going on now. So I hope some of you might be interested in spreading the word, or perhaps-- basically, we're offering the opportunity for people to pre-buy the book.
Chimps are terrible, terrible people. It is it has been accused of being the yogurt crocheting zenith of archaeological theory, that essentially in the past, everyone sat around crocheting their own yogurt,
is smartly designed with Le trim on the lapels and pups underneath the jacket is a most unusual vest of pumpkin and white crocheted leather I love the careful attention the cream colored blous adds to complete this great love that's my
She was showing me Bauhaus drawings. She was showing me photographs from the '60s of a girl inside a huge crochet installation. She was showing me the drawings of the pieces.
Like there's still Jews? Oh, I didn't know that you crochet !
Why not chisel it in stone, carve it in marble, paint it? But there a logically necessary reason why we are doing it in crochet . And that's because all these frilly, crenellated forms that you see here, they are crochet invocations of a kind of geometry called hyperbolic geometry.
And it so happens that this is what nature has been realizing in a lot of coral reef biology. So very briefly, so the project of the crochet coral reef is really not only about producing a beautiful art object that responds to global warming and the environmental crisis of the sea, it's also a way to teach people geometry.
And so this is a wonderful branch of mathematics which sort of reveals the richness and power of the subject. Do you think that there's a way to inject the beautiful crochet fabric that's
And so this is a wonderful branch of mathematics which sort of reveals the richness and power of the subject. And one of the biggest comments we get from people in the crochet coral reef project is how critically important it is to them--
So remember, since this. They're text-based. And then the crocheters came to me later and said, hey, we want to do this too.
And so this is a wonderful branch of mathematics which sort of reveals the richness and power of the subject. And also, women have been crocheting ruffled, basically hyperbolic ruffles for hundreds of years,
So there are a lot of things you can do. She cooked. She did knitting or crocheting .
And so this is a wonderful branch of mathematics which sort of reveals the richness and power of the subject. and those-- lots of techniques in knitting, tatting, and crochet to do this.
but it's not a spoonerism. from different birthday cakes and different characters on top of the cakes, or knitting and crocheting blankets or quilts and shirts and things like that.
So I came up with this plan. We're going to have people knit scarves, any style, themselves, knit or crochet , blue and white. And then we were going to put patches on them, Super Bowl, and they'd be given to the volunteers.
But there a logically necessary reason why we are doing it in crochet . And that's because all these frilly, crenellated forms that you see here, they are crochet invocations of a kind of geometry called hyperbolic geometry. And that is the geometry that is naturally realized in a lot of coral reef organism, like sponges and kelps and corals that you see here.
And indeed, for a long time, mathematicians thought that you couldn't have models of it. But then in 1997 a mathematician at Cornell, Dr. Daina Taimina, discovered that in fact you could make models of hyperbolic geometry with crochet . And I'd like to show you some of them.
The wrinkled spine and folded corners tell me it's been read. I turn to Granny, who's busily working on yet another afghan, "Hey, Granny, did you read that book?” The crochet hook stops. She looks up, and says point-blank, "Yes, and it's disgusting." My heart sinks and my guard goes up. "Disgusting?"
I want to be an actor. I want to be somebody who inhabits roles regardless of what the requirements are, whether it's martial arts or jazz piano or crocheting . Like, I want to be able to disappear into those roles and to portray them and to deal with material and characters
