The Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef

"April 7 - August 31
7 am - 11 pm daily
WFC Winter Garden (under staircase)

Bursting forth in a colorful, crocheted panoply of loopy "kelps", curlicue "corals," and fringy "anemones," this wooly homage to Earth's endangered coral reefs is a beautiful marriage of traditional arts & crafts and hyperbolic geometry. This exhibition, featuring The Toxic Reef (through May 18), The New York Reef, and The Chicago Reef, raises awareness about these disappearing marine treasures."

Don't mean to hijack your thread, but this art display just opened right down the street from me! It is on the corner of 10th st and Broadway.

There are 2 other windows that I didn't photograph because they were not set up yet.

Yeah, I was about to make this post. I saw it over the weekend on 10 St and Broadway. Very cool looking. From someone who does some similar form of handicraft, it's very impressive.

Here's a link to the website.
