Crochet Coral Reef A Project by The Institute For Figuring
Crochet Coral Reef: A Project by The Institute for Figuring showcases how Christine Wertheim and her sister Margaret transformed skeins of yarn into a dazzling, crowd-sourced celebration of marine life and feminist craft. This 2015 illustrated paperback documents the global art-and-science phenomenon that fuses hyperbolic geometry with traditional crochet to spotlight oceanic fragility.
Collectors of art-culture books and eco-craft titles will appreciate the crisp, photo-rich pages that chart the Wertheims’ traveling reef installations. Every swirl of thread becomes both sculpture and environmental call-to-action, placing crochet squarely inside contemporary art discourse.
The gently read copy is smoke-free, unmarked, and tightly bound; only a faint scuff on one page corner keeps it from perfect. Clean gutters and pliable spine mean it will lie flat for studio inspiration or coffee-table browsing.
A perfect gift for fiber artists, STEAM educators, or anyone curious about where handicraft meets climate activism. Secure this well-kept volume today and dive into the colorful intersection of craft, community, and conservation.
