I like to crochet hyperbolic surfaces. My contribution to the area was to crochet around shaped line, thus making the resulting surface curve in three dimensions. The technique is a composite of crocheting and basket making. Over the last several years my surfaces have become larger and require to be hung from the ceiling to preserve their integrity (so that they don't deform) and also for the visual impact. For this reason my submission consists of three images of more recent work.

I am very happy, that with my crocheting I am picking up on a very traditional European women's craft and giving it a new spin, connecting it to Mathematics.

The forms are inspired by ocean creatures like sea anemones, algae, also by flower blossoms and, surprisingly, by surfaces encountered in topology.
