In Stitches Collective- Charlotte Haywood, Claire Conroy, Michaela Davies
Museum of Applied Arts + Sciences (Powerhouse Museum), Sydney
A community arts collaboration with over 370 contributors. Bringing together people who have interests that cross mathematics + environmental science, traditional craft and contemporary art practice. In Stitches Collective ran workshops for a year across Australia tracing hyperbolic networks to view the relationships built through such a large scale collaborative artwork.
The exhibition took place during the Sydney Science Festival from the 21st to the 30th of august 2009.
The SYDNEY REEF is a satellite of the worldwide Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef project created by Margaret and Christine Wertheim of the Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles.
