I am a mathematician by training who has picked up a habit of crochet and has an interest in the creative visual expression of mathematical ideas. Recent work has centered around the idea that some fractal curves have dimension 2 (i.e. space-filling curves), which is coincidentally the dimension of a blanket (ignoring the thickness, of course).



In a nutshell, I find the strong geometric ordering of iterative fractals provoking, the slow process of embedding them into crocheted work therapeutic, and the contrast between rigid geometry and soft fabric enjoyable.
