I missed seeing in person the largest installation of crocheted hyperbolic planes. I missed putting together my dreams and memories with hundreds of others. (Thank you again all who participated! I did felt your support which I needed very much.) It was prepared for a display by a team in Riga. <a href="https://rigabiennial.com/en/riboca-2" target="_blank">2nd Riga International Contemporary Art Biennial</a> was supposed to open in May, instead it had only 3 weeks August 20-September 13, 2020. It was amazing that it happened at all. My friends went to see it instead of me and sent their pictures, people were posting on Facebook, I was following on ZOOM Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel guided tour, reading media reviews. The dream of participating in Art Biennial is now memories of these pictures. I was first taken aback that the display is so different from the one I originally envisioned but then I could see how it all made sense - dreams and memories all mixed up and fallen on ground...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This “stay at home” time has dramatically slowed down our
fast pacing rhythm of everyday life and besides following scary news how the
pandemic is taking over more and more not yet red colored spots on world’s map,
forces to think how this could happen. I found thought provoking a view of British
environmental journalist Gaia Vince (<a href="https://wanderinggaia.com/">https://wanderinggaia.com/</a>
)who argues that this COVID-19 pandemic is a human creation. This pandemic
spread precisely because of species we are in our biosphere, and because the
planet we created. <o:p></o:p></div>

We dominate and alter the local and global ecosystem
cumulatively to suit our lifestyles and improve our survival, including habitat
loss for other species, introduction of invasive species, climate change,
industrial-scale hunting, burning, planting, infrastructure replacement, and
countless other modifications. Humans currently threaten 1 million of the
world’s 8 million species. while other species do not naturally cause
extinctions (with rare exceptions). Wild animal and plant products are being
extracted from intact ecosystems at an unprecedented rate. As we plunder these
wild-lands for the resources we value, we disrupt established ecological niches,
including those of pathogen and host. Viruses and bacteria that evolved life
cycles in a wild animal get opportunistic exposure to humans. 75% of the new
diseases affecting us in the past 30 years have animal origins. Communities
adjacent to exploited rain-forests, with their wild animal markets, are the
first affected by novel diseases, such as Ebola, HIV, MERS, SARS, and, most
recently, COVID-19. <o:p></o:p></div>

Humans now operate as a globalized network of over 7.5
billion hyper-connected individuals: We have effectively become a super-organism
in our interactions with the natural world. However, we are still a part of the
biosphere and as we blunder into ecosystems, we must be mindful of the greater
systems that we are all a part of. A tweak to one part of the network can have
far reaching consequences (good or bad) for us all. COVID-19 has
exposed every type of oppressive/exploitative condition/relation. Every inequity
explodes and festers by the spread of virus. Nothing remains contained as this
catastrophe blasts forward. <o:p></o:p></div>

Everybody must find a way how to resist, how to overcome
anxiety, fear, hopelessness at times like these. History tells us that needle
arts appeared as responses to collective trauma. In Ireland, during the famine
of the 1840s, philanthropists across the country established crochet schools;
they trained impoverished farming families to make lace for export in
a relief scheme that grew into an art form. During WWII in London,
people sheltering from the blitz were encouraged to pass the time by
knitting.<o:p></o:p></div>

Numbers of COVID-19 cases grow exponentially. When crocheting
hyperbolic plane, the number of stitches grow exponentially. Everybody who is
participating now in the project to create installation Dreams and Memories has
experienced this exponential growth in very tactile way. Original idea of creating
a meditative piece about our dreams and memories, about past and future
unexpectedly has acquired another dimension – dimension of our social
connectivity and impact on each other lives. Be strong, be healthy! And if
you have an opportunity -- put the memory of a resilience during this pandemic
into some creative piece.<o:p></o:p></div>

Have you heard about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Cuttoli">Marie Cuttoli</a>? I have not until my recent visit to Barnes Foundation where I was fortunate to see exhibit <a href="https://www.barnesfoundation.org/whats-on/exhibition/marie-cuttoli">The Modern Thread from Miro to Man Ray</a>. I was fortunate a) because it is great exhibit; b) Barnes Foundation is temporarily closed due to Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
<br />
In 1930s Paris Marie Cuttoli (1879-1973) convinced the most celebrated artists of her time - including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Picasso">Picasso</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Mir%C3%B3">Miro</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernand_L%C3%A9ger">Leger</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_Ray">Man Ray</a> - to create designs for the historic tapestry workshops of Aubusson, France. Cuttoli's venture gave new life to an artisan tradition and brought modernism to new audiences. In Barnes Foundation exhibition it is possible to see designs for textiles, which they call cartoons (some of them later were sold as paintings), and tapestries made from those designs. Why the name cartoon? Because those designs were made as large as the tapestry will be woven and put underneath, so weaver could follow the pattern.<br />

The first object is this fabulous evening dress, embroidery for which was designed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natalia_Goncharova">Natalia Goncharova</a>, Russian avant-garde painter whose costumes for The Ballets Russe Cuttoli admired. In 1922 Marie Cuttoli opened her fashion house and boutique Myrbor in Paris, in the same neighborhood as Chanel and Lanvin.

Cuttoli's venture related closely to mural decoration, a topic that fascinated artists in 1930s. Tapestries had many of the same qualities as murals with the added benefit of portability. Designing for Cuttoli pushed artists to take their work in new directions, experimenting with scale and process alike. Man Ray used a rayograph in his design, bringing an innovative photomechanical process into an artisan tradition. The architect <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Corbusier">Le Corbusier</a>, who was flattered to join a group that included Picasso, Braque, and Leger, worked up sketches for a cartoon titled <i>Marie Cuttoli</i>, an experience that informed his later conception of tapestry as mural for the modern era.</div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Trying to recall the plot</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">And characters we dreamed,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> What life was like</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Before the morning came,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We are seldom satisfied,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> And even then</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">There is no way of knowing</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">If what we know is true.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Something nameless</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Hums us into sleep,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Withdraws, and leaves us in</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> A place that seems</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Always vaguely familiar.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Perhaps it is because</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> We take the props</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">And fixtures of our days</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">With us into the dark,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Assuring ourselves</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We are still alive. And yet</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Nothing here is certain;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Landscapes merge</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">With one another, houses</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Are never where they should be,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Doors and windows</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Sometimes open out</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">To other doors and windows,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Even the person</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Who seems most like ourselves</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Cannot be counted on,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> For there have been</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Too many times when he,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Like everything else, has done</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> The unexpected.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">And as the night wears on,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The dim allegory of ourselves</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Unfolds, and we</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Feel dreamed by someone else,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A sleeping counterpart,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Who gathers in</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The darkness of his person</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Shades of the real world.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Nothing is clear;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We are not ever sure</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">If the life we live there</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Belongs to us.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Each night it is the same;</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Just when we’re on the verge</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Of catching on,</span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Closes in, and the world</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> So lately seen</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Gradually fades from sight.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We wake to find the sleeper</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Is ourselves</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">And the dreamt-of is someone who did</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Something we can’t quite put</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Our finger on,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">But which involved a life</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We are always, we feel,</span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> About to discover.</span></div>

On Saturday February 15th I went to Artists talk. I was curious to learn about Saundra's practice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Since she was a child she was fascinated by knitting and crochet because that was a way to create something tactile.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In Saundra's hands strands become her palette and she is creating her own colors by combining these various strands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These two pieces originally were like the previous one but then Goodman decided to make something more interesting and she cut them to create quilt like pattern. Cutting crochet work? That is really something brave! Even after Saundra explained me how she did it I don't know if I will ever try to do it with my pieces.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Currently Saundra is experimenting with stitches what she calls <i>vertical crochet</i> - she created this technique to be able to make more three-dimensional works and have more adventures with crochet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Saundra Goodman was born in New York City. Soft spoken and very kind, it is hard to believe that she is a former Woman Marine who served in Vietnam War. She holds a degree in psychology from University of North Florida, studied drawing and painting in School of Visual Arts in NYC. You can learn more about her work from her website <a href="https://www.strandstostitches.com/">https://www.strandstostitches.com/</a></div>

Several years ago I received a big box with yarns and some unfinished projects. The box was sent to me by a caretaker of 92 year old Latvian woman who came to US at the end of WWII. All her life she had worked as a nurse, often taking night shifts since she didn't have a family of her own. During those long nights at the hospital she was knitting and crocheting. As many of us know - we dream up of the project, buy yarns, start it, then something interrupts us, and we put our handiwork aside to finish later. At the old age the woman was losing her eyesight and realizing that she is never going to finish to go through that box. She asked it to be sent to me. I found a beautiful soft white yarn in the box, and the first thing I did was to knit a shawl for her. She loved it. And when she passed away few years later her wish was to take that shawl with her. I have used yarns from the box over the years. And what was left now were six neatly crocheted strips. I put them all together - her dreams, my memories...<br />
Let me know how you are doing with your projects...<br />
<br />
This is description of the project (instructions are in the previous blog post)<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dreams and Memories</span></div>
<br />If we have a dream it can’t get lost. Could be that some dream just turns into a memory but nonetheless had made us more secure and stronger in order to move forward. What was a dream yesterday may turn into a reality tomorrow. As Albert Einstein once said: “A person with big dreams is stronger than that who has only facts.”<div>
<br />And it’s okay if some dreams are not fulfilled but instead are turned into memories. Memories are the collection of our life experience. They hold our successes and losses, joy and sorrow. They, like glue, hold our lifeline together. With years passing by, our memories might fade but they never age.<br />We cannot always express our dreams to others with words. It may be easier to give our dream or memory some tactile form through crochet - to re-purpose a scarf that still keeps the loving memory of a beautiful moment or some hidden tears; from old tape we used to listen when we were happy or sad, some T-shirt, plastic bag, or whatever.</div>
<div>
<br />We will join this all together – each piece in a single color. In the spring I will sort them by color, then we will see which is the most popular. But for sure they will all make one big collective blooming work at Riga Biennale of Contemporary Art.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 2nd Riga International Biennial of Contemporary Art</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and suddenly it all blossoms</div>

Curated by Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Please consider joining me in my project <i>Dreams and Memories </i>by crocheting hyperbolic plane using whatever material - preferably something recycled. <u>In one color only! </u>(The reason for this is to be able to incorporate your creation in the whole installation.) Your name will be included in a list of contributors. However, you should know that there will be no way for me to return your contribution after the exhibit. It will stay permanently with the installation. Contact me when your submission is ready daina.taimina@gmail.com<br />
<br />
You may crochet hyperbolic plane as you have done before or you can follow more relaxed directions (see previous post) by starting with a larger circle or initially crocheting around some curtain ring or something like that and using double crochet stitches. Like this:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
I will try to use some old VHS tapes which I have digitized first to save memories recorded on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There is no rush to crochet right now - end of the year, everybody busy. I will wait for your contributions until March 31, 2020. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Why <i>Dreams and Memories</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
crocheting makes our fingers to move but our thoughts can travel from memories to dreams. Those thoughts are invisible but they follow the thread we are using creating something that grows and that is why the form which grows - crocheted hyperbolic plane. For me this is project is very personal - crocheted hyperbolic plane was created at the workshop led by my late husband and it will always remind me our time together. Crocheted hyperbolic plane has connected me with many people around the world and that has been unforgettable experience. Dreams? There are dreams which now are memories and there are dreams which may happen. </div>

In 2014 for the exhibit as part of Riga 2014-European
Culture Capital we (that is – me and my 235 helpers from all corners of Latvia, Italy, USA)
created an installation <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">White Cloud</i>.
I am inviting you to participate in continuing our collaboration by creating a
new installation <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Dreams and Memories</i>
(working title). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For your creation to
be included please crochet one or several hyperbolic/negatively
curved/crenelated pieces following suggested instructions bellow. I strongly
encourage you to re-use yarns from old sweaters or scarves, socks etc., could
be various recycled materials such as yarn made of plastic bags or worn
T-shirts, sheets and so on. In example above you can see crochet using old audio tape. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: red;">VERY IMPORTANT!</span></b><span style="color: red;"> </span>– you can choose any color for your piece but only <u>one</u>
color in the same piece. <u>Do not mix colors</u>! (In some cases, different
shades of the same color could be used, for example, if your material is in
light blue and dark blue). Size of your piece will depend on the amount of the
material you have and there is no size restrictions, preferably no less than 10
cm diameter. If you want to be creative - please be with the shape! If you want to combine knitting and crochet - that is also fine. <o:p></o:p></div>

This is a simplified version of crocheted hyperbolic plane.
Crochet 20-30 chains, join in circle. Crochet around this circle as many single
crochet stitches as you fit. This will make strong edge for the circle and will
be a start for your further crochet which follows simple pattern – 2 chains to
raise to the next row, then *1 double crochet in first stitch, 2 double crochet
in the next*. Repeat until you get around, join with the beginning of the row.
Then again 2 chains to start the next row and repeat *1 double crochet in first
stitch, 2 double crochet in the next*.<o:p></o:p></div>

If you have some ring you can crochet around (as in this
example) you can start with single crochet around this ring. Otherwise you can
start as in the previous example. In the next row crochet 2 single crochet in
each loop. Continue for several rows and you will see how the disc will become
curvier. It is about the time to make holes – one double crochet, two chain,
one double crochet, two chain, etc. When the row with holes is completed, in
the next row crochet two double crochet in first hole, three double crochet in
the next, again two double crochet, then three double crochet…Next row – one
single crochet, in the next one two single crochet – that is increase. Continue
varying rows with holes, rows with double crochet and rows with single crochet.
If disc is not wavy enough, do two rows with single crochet, increasing after
every other stitch. You can be creative with your shape. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
It's been a year now since the 2nd edition of my book "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Crocheting-Adventures-Hyperbolic-Planes-Mathematics/dp/1138301159/ref=pd_cart_vw_crc_1_1/140-4453226-2784515?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1138301159&pd_rd_r=7c011810-6cc6-4753-9df2-67dfc7b34d06&pd_rd_w=rrqB1&pd_rd_wg=f5yiz&pf_rd_p=7b1a11cb-b9d6-4645-a52e-34c86ca37029&pf_rd_r=22BQZTDBS3PFRF9Q9XTB&psc=1&refRID=22BQZTDBS3PFRF9Q9XTB">Crocheting Adventures with the Hyperbolic Planes</a>" came out. I was reluctant originally to work on it because my original publisher AK Peters was gone - bought by CRC Press. The editor of CRC Press was patient and persistent talking me into making this 2nd edition promising that it will be a beautiful book, that CRC Press will do very good advertising, that they will make sure the book will get the attention it deserves as a winner of Euler Book Prize etc. David was willing again to do typesetting, he was so enthusiastic of that. I wanted to devote this book to him, he was humble about that and suggested that it should be in memory of Bill Thurston. Last year my beloved high school math teacher would turn 100, so I chose to devote this book to three men who each in their own way showed me the beauty of geometry. I had a certain reservation of putting David's name between names of two men who were dead. David said that it is ok, that he is happy with that. It was our last completed writing project together...<br />
<br />
When the book first came out and I saw its high price, I knew that it will be a failure, it will not sell. In following months indeed I saw sales rising on 1st edition which was cheaper. Well, sales... I better do not follow Amazon author sales rank. If I look there, it makes me deeply regret we spent time working on this book instead travelling to places we dreamed to go during our last year together...I was asking CRC Press to provide me with the list where they have sent review copies, they just brushed me away saying that they have widely sent out copies for review and reviewers are just too busy, that it will take about a year to see reviews. Now the year is gone and thee is exactly one review - on Amazon customer's review giving 5 stars to the book and saying: "Amazing and insightful. Hyperbolic geometry is common and extremely useful, but the subject is almost always taught in an arcane way. This book allows a more intuitive approach in understanding, which is critical for applied mathematicians."<br />
<br />
During this past year I have seen other books coming out and their promotions and advanced praises, reviews - I am happy for those authors having great agents and nice publishers. I will never ever work with any academic publisher. After the accident which killed David, I was not able even to look at my book without deep sorrow thinking of wasted time. Until an e-mail came...<br />
<br />
Few weeks ago I received a letter from <a href="https://www.tapinto.net/towns/holmdel-and-colts-neck/articles/conductive-crochet-ancient-art-goes-high-tech-as-holmdel-student-amanda-shayna-ahteck-wins-entry-to-next-round-of-regeneron-science-contest">Amanda Shayna Ahteck</a> which I will quote in its entity (with the permission of its sender). It brought back in me the pride of an educator, that great happiness of making at least a small change in this world, inspiring young minds to create. Now I have a strength to work on a project we were both planning on doing this winter. It is hard to do it without David but I have to make sure that his vision of geometry will stay alive and through his writing he will continue to teach.<br />
<br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"My name is Amanda Shayna Ahteck. I’m currently a senior at Holmdel High School and I’m writing to you today to just say how much your work has inspired me. <br />I saw an article about you in the SAT reading section for the December 2017 SAT exam. Although I may not remember anything else from that standardized test (good riddance), the main points of the article really stuck with me. It was just amazing how you solved the decades-old problem of hyperbolic plane models with a little insight from your childhood activity of crocheting. I went home and searched up “hyperbolic crochet” and listened to your TED talk. I ended up sitting for a few hours after I found a PDF explaining the stitch increases as they related to the equation’s exponential growth, picking up some teal acrylic yarn and a 4.00 mm hook to crochet my own hyperbolic plane.<br />This experience changed the way I look at mathematics. It was hard to find the equation intimidating when it’s a cuddly concept made of acrylic yarn. I so appreciate the beauty of mathematics and some artistic insight. Suddenly I saw the connections between conic sections in my calculus class and the transformations to shapes and paths I could make as an amateur graphic designer in Adobe Illustrator vector graphics. (I suppose that should have been my first clue, vectors in graphics, but now I just wonder why they don’t teach it in high school with at least some kind of digital art application.)<br />In a different way, your repurposing of crochet technique for mathematics inspired another interesting project of mine. Later in my junior year of high school (early 2018) I was crocheting under my desk in physics class. Of course, I knew I should have probably been paying more attention to my teacher, but while he was explaining the resistance and resistivity formulas, I was connecting to the crochet in my hands. I could see how a wire with the geometry of a chain stitch would stretch when pulled, decreasing its thickness, increasing its length, and changing the resistance. With an elastic band through the core, the chain would contract back to the looped geometry of the chain stitch, separating the threads and returning to the original resistance. <br />So I borrowed some stainless steel conductive thread from my school's Makerspace and sought to crochet a bunch of these stretch sensors. I tested their resistances with a multimeter, assembled them with a programmed microcontroller, and ultimately created a prototype for a device that rests on the back of your hand and on the second knuckle, allowing you to type in mid-air. I called the project, the “midiKEY” after its usage of midi rings that rest above the second knuckle and the whole function of mapping different combinations of sensor input to send certain keystrokes over a Bluetooth signal. <br />I wrote a (very informal) paper on its development and submitted it to the Regeneron Science Talent Search, where I was named a Top 300 Scholar, the first in my high school’s history to ever do so. I’ve presented my poster and prototypes to the Jersey Shore Science Fair, my region’s first round of qualifications in the process leading up to the International Science and Engineering Fair ISEF, and placed first in the Engineering category with an award of recognition from the local IEEE chapter. I’ll be presenting at the next level of competition in early April, with high hopes. I’m working on a patent or two soon, but there’s still some homework and problem sets to be done.<br />It’s been an incredible experience. I know it’s fairly far removed from real academia and real research and everything, but I’ve loved the outreach opportunities that have come with these competitions. Being able to explain what I’m doing to the public both old and young alike is just the most fulfilling thing. I keep tangible models of my sensors around my display so that people can truly visualize, stretch, and interact with it, like we should interact with any mathematics or science concept anyway. In presenting to the public, I’ve represented my school, advocated for Makerspaces, and even made contact with other high schools in the area to help kickstart their own research programs. Of course, I look forward to getting involved in academic research in my college years, but I feel as though early encouragement about path of inquiry integrating classwork outside the classroom set me on an inspired course.<br />But I just wanted to thank you and all your work. That little bit of insight from my similar childhood experience with crochet and your story inspired me so greatly. "</i></span></span><br /><div>

On December 19, 2018 we drove from Philadelphia, where we visited David's siblings, to <a href="https://www.winterthur.org/">Winterthur</a>. It was a beautiful morning - sunny, with light frost covering fields, windy scenic road to the museum. There we enjoyed Garden Tour and then display of Christmas decorations, decided that we should return in spring to see all those beautiful flowers; had lunch - tasty wild mushroom soup. I asked David - would he like some pecan pie, and he answered - why not. How could we know that that was our last meal together... I wanted to stop for night at Lewes but David said we should continue a little further. We stopped at Bethany Beach. Checked in hotel and asked where could we have a nice meal. We were suggested Cottage Cafe, just across the road. I wish we would never tried <a href="http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2019/01/professor-emeritus-david-henderson-dies-accident">to cross that road...</a> It was the darkest day of the year. It became the darkest day of my life.<br />

as a stroll in the woods. I will show you paths that I have trod and point to
what I have seen. I have been there many times before – but oh! – there is much
more to see that I have not yet seen. You, with your unique vision, will point
out to me things that I have passed by. Feel free to explore – look under
stones, down in hollow stumps. You can find a rivulet of water that if followed
will lead to the sea. But just as valuable are the little surprises that spark
something inside – a trillium in a spot of sun, a scarlet eft wriggling under a
fallen leaf. Do not hurry “to get somewhere” – linger a while—listen—see what’s
around where you are.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

Do you know what is <a href="https://www.moooi.com/brand">moooi</a>? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was visiting moooi showroom and a talk about textiles in NYC just before leaving for Riga last fall. I had already put in all these pictures for the blog and was going to write a text while in Riga. However, it all got left unfinished because of shocking experience in Riga - my apartment there was vandalized, police did not care. (Few month later I got a response that the guy living there just have thrown out Soviet type furniture to make space for him, the rest of my claim was just ignored, giving me 10 days to appeal which was impossible due to events I will talk in next blog entry.) Then I got dragged in in even stranger event - suspected Russian spy case and had to protect myself in the city I was born and lived most of my life as a citizen of United States. That all wiped out all I wanted to write about Textiles and Moooi but since I have these pictures, I decided to leave them here.</div>

We arrived in Greenwich, CT to meet our granddaughter and go to see her in <i><a href="http://www.lipstickprojectct.org/cabaret">Cabaret</a>, </i>first ever all female production by The Lipstick Project in collaboration with Darien Art Center. While she was finishing her day at school where she teaches, we had some time and looked up what could we visit in Greenwich. I spotted that at <a href="https://brucemuseum.org/">Bruce museum</a> there is an exhibit <i><a href="https://brucemuseum.org/site/exhibitions_detail/the-soviet-sublime-intersections-of-art-and-science-in-the-dodge-collection">Hot Art in a Cold War</a>: Intersections of Art and Science in Soviet Era</i>. So the point of interest was decided: from train station we headed towards the Bruce museum.</div>

On a hill near museum gates we were greeted by a dinosaur family. How appropriate! At the exhibit first thing I noticed was a portrait of another "dinosaur" - portrait of Brezhnev, leader of the USSR from 1964 until his death in 1982. In this colored pencil picture he is surrounded by flags of 15 Soviet republics.</div>

Replica of <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika">Laika</a></i>, most famous dog in my childhood. A stray dog from Moscow streets born about the same year I did, was one of the first animals in space, the dog that was sent into orbit soon after Sputnik, November 3, 1957. Pictures of this dog appeared everywhere. On the right side there is a package of cigarettes with Laika on it.</div>

Model of <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunokhod_1">Lunokhod</a>(Moon Rover)</i> - the first remote-controlled robot - a rover that landed on Moon November 1970. These models brought back memories from the time when everything happening in Cosmos was a big event featured on front pages of newspapers, talked about. It was so exciting, it felt that even the most unbelievable dreams can happen. I wonder what event could raise the same excitement these days?<br />

Two very simple looking keys. Could you imagine that such keys were essential for launching a missile? These two are replicas of the keys from former Plokstine missile base in Lithuania. Despite their very simple appearance, turning a set of these keys was a critical part of the protocol for launching a missile capable of delivering a warhead over 100 times as powerful as the Hiroshima bomb. These replicas are made from a polished silver, but the actual keys were made from titanium to withstand high voltage levels of the launch system. A similar key with a longer blade was used for the more peaceful purpose of launching space rockets.<br />

I really liked that in the exhibit there were not only his perfectly finished works but the artist gave a possibility for viewers to peak in his creative thinking, experiments and wooden models of his glass works. </div>

<a href="http://www.albertpaley.com/index.cfm?Page=Glass%20And%20Steel%20Sculpture">Albert Paley</a> in his works combines glass with stainless steel. He says:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I am interested in the potential of glass as a sculptural material, not as something being framed by metal. I want glass and metal to be equal partners. Glass pairs beautifully with steel because it creates a dialog of opposites." </blockquote>

A rockhole is a place where water is retained on a depression in a rock. The artist grew up in a vast desert region where rockholes are treasured sources of water. Geometric maze is a reminder of channels of the water that leave tracks in the land after huge lightning storms and flash floods pass through the desert. </div>

When I was in Seattle during first Thursday Art Walk in April I happened to walk into a small studio space with interesting textiles. It was studio of <a href="http://www.suzannetidwell.com/">Suzanne Tidwell</a>. I did not recognize the name but now when I looked at her webpage I regret not talking to her. I had seen <a href="http://www.rogueedits.com/blog/interview-with-yarn-artist-suzanne-tidwell/">her yarn bombing installations</a> before and she has done some interesting things in public places. As she describes her artistic practice herself: "My brightly colored installatios transformed dreary public spaces around Seattle. People began to frequent public parks they would have never felt comfortable entering before. I have endeavored to bring joy to underused and negatively affected public spaces. People become complacent to what they see every day, rarely stopping to notice details over time. It's only when things change that we take notice. My work is tactile, temporary and ephemeral in nature. I encourage people to live in the moment, because you never know where an installation will turn up or when it will disappear."</blockquote>

My travel from New York to Atlanta started with Gardner's type puzzle at Howard Beach station - will there be a train to JFK? The answer, of course, is yes, since I made to Atlanta for the third time to be a participant at the most fun conference which for the first time was fully sold out event.</div>

The number of participants is limited but the capacity of this ballroom. I remember that at my first Gatheringn4Gardner in 2006 this ballroom was sometimes divided and talks were given in parallel sessions. This arrangement gave an opportunity for talks to be longer but at the same time it was unfortunate to miss some talks. Now, except some special presentations, talks had strict 6 min time limit and everybody could listen to all talks.</div>

G4G is a great palce to meet old friends and to make new ones. Here I am with Alex Bellos who as a young beginning journalist interviewed me ten years ago in London for <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/how-crochet-solved-an-age-old-maths-problem-23b98wn89wv">The Times</a>. Now he is well known author of several bestselling books. And I was happy for the first time to meet an artist <a href="https://www.coombscriddle.com/">Debora Coombs</a> who knew about my work but I did not know about hers.</div>

And my favorites - fascinating display of ambiguous objects (how he calls them) by Kokichi Sugihara. He has become world renowned for his mind boggling illusions, several times he has won Best Illusion of the Year, I have seen <a href="http://twistedsifter.com/videos/the-mind-boggling-illusions-of-kokichi-sugihara/">videos</a> of his illusions, but nothing compares to feeling when you are alone with this arrow and turn it with your own fingers! </div>

This spring I visited Seattle for the first time. I got there just in time to see exhibit ART ∩ MATH (<a href="https://cocaseattle.org/exhibitions/artandmath">Art intersects Math</a>) at Center on Contemporary Art in Pioneer Square which run from March 1-April 14, 2018. I wrote about this exhibit and posted some pictures <a href="http://mathartpost.blogspot.com/2018/04/art-math-coca-seattle-march-1-april-14.html">here</a>. Before getting there I misread the name of the gallery as Center of Contemporary Art and an image of this center to be something big. Instead it is just one gallery space for exhibits, but this gallery already for 35 years has an important mission - "CoCA serves the Pacific Northwest as a catalyst and forum for the advancement, development, and understanding of Contemporary Art. " The exhibit showcased artistic works of <span style="background-color: white; color: #3c3939; font-family: "asap"; font-size: 15px;">m</span>athematicians Jayadev Athreya, Katherine Cook, Erik Demaine and Martin Demaine, Edmund Harriss, and Hamid Naderi Yeganeh and visual artists who use mathematical principles in their practices: Rachel Holloway, Claire B. Jones, George Legrady, Jean Mandeberg, Savina Mason, Suchitra Mattai, June Sekiguchi, Timea Tihanyi/Slip Rabbit, Lun-Yi Tsai, Amber Barney-Nivon, and Ilana Zweschi. While the names of mathematicians were familiar, I did not know visual artists making this exhibit even more interesting for me. I met Nichole DeMent, executive director of CoCA who was eager to hear my opinion about the current exhibit which shows creative combination of math and art. I really liked this exhibit, and was lucky to see it on my own in the morning, and then later full of viewers in the evening. I missed the dance performance which was one of the events in connection with the exhibit. When I returned in the evening to the gallery it was full with people. It was first Thursday Art Walk night. I was happy that Nichole DeMent suggested me to come back that night because the whole exhibit had become alive. Artworks displayed created discussions, they were teaching about math and about creativity.<br />

In the exhibit <a href="http://www.clairebjones.com/">Claire B. Jones</a> two works were the first I wanted to see because they were explorations of curvature, the same theme I have done so many times. Jones creates her fiber sculptures using machine stitch.<br />

I had a chance to talk also with curators of the exhibit, and they told me that exhibit from Seattle will travel to Everett, WA, where there will be more space and thus possibility to invite more artists to participate. I received a kind invitations to be one of the artists joining this beautiful exhibit in Everett. Unfortunately, I had to decline because from Seattle I was travelling to Atlanta, without coming to Ithaca to get my works. Hopefully some other time...<br /><br /><br /> In the meantime I am happy to announce that during my visit in Seattle second edition of my book got published and now is available on <a href="https://www.crcpress.com/Crocheting-Adventures-with-Hyperbolic-Planes-Tactile-Mathematics-Art-and/Taimina/p/book/9781138301153">CRC Press site</a> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

No posts last year - I had drafts but never finished, Here is my excuse - second edition of Crocheting Adventures has gone off to press and official release date is February 26. The first printing of the original book was the best quality one. So if you prefer first printings of the books then pre-order. I was told that the first printing is ....Well, let us say small. I hope it will run out fast and there will be more. However, the print shop after just seeing a manuscript already asked for the permission to print a few extra copies for their display library because they said - it is a beautiful book.<br />
Is it different from the 1st edition? Yes and no. The content is updated, many pictures that were left as placeholders and afterwards due to time constraints never replaced now are replaced. The chapter about applications of hyperbolic geometry is expanded, new chapter about my adventures after the first edition was published is added. Appendix now is much larger with pictures to illustrate how to make models, and yes, there are more models - step by step instruction for hyperbolic pair of pants, Klein Quartic, Costa surface, Figure eight knot. This book is celebrating 20 years (I cannot believe this number!) of hyperbolic crochet. I took more pictures with my models in nature, and last picture in the book is at the Ithaca Falls - the picture for the first edition was taken there in January 2008 and that is at the beginning of the book (Contents page). I carried again the same model which is now much larger to the same place in January ten years later when in Ithaca it was so cold that falls were frozen.<br />

Last days of my trip to Europe were spent in Finland. I was invited to participate in an exhibit <i>Yarn Visions</i> in <a href="http://www.sinkka.fi/summary-in-english/">Kerava Art Center SINKKA</a>. </div>

<i>Yarn Visions </i>are curated by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Minna.Haveri">Minna Haveri</a>. I am happy to have another chance to show <i>White Cloud </i>- the installation that was first made for Riga -2014 exhibit <a href="http://rixc.org/en/exhibitions/2014/143/">Hyperbolic Planes and Sustainable Networks</a>, curated by RIXC and with help of many Latvian and even Italian crocheters. I wrote about it <a href="http://hyperbolic-crochet.blogspot.com/2014/12/hyperbolic-planes-and-sustainable.html">here</a>. Since the end of the exhibit White Cloud had been in storage, and many thanks to RIXC people who organized it to be shipped to Kerava. </div>

When after two years I met <i>White Cloud</i> again, this is how it looked. Many thanks to my helpers who gave a hand untangling this pile and hanging it! I also met with the group who calls themselves <i>Wild Crocheters</i> from Kerava - they had made both pink clouds.</div>

<a href="http://www.lnmm.lv/en/mdad/visit/exhibitions/2010-the-seventies-utility-of-beauty">The seventies. Utility of Beauty</a><br />
<br />From <a href="http://www.fold.lv/en/2016/11/exhibition-the-seventies-utility-of-beauty/">Fold</a>:<br /><br />"The exhibition «The Seventies. Utility of Beauty» at the Museum of Decorative Arts and Design demonstrates the most essential trends in the development of Latvian applied arts in the 1970s. This period of time is characterized by a new upcoming formal artistic direction, when aesthetic value prevailed over governing functionality indicative of the 1960s. Functionality was more or less rejected and replaced by aesthetic qualities accentuating "decorativeness" of art, as well as the rich and diverse imagery embodied in the artworks. Artists searched and found inspiration in nature studies, travel notes, cosmic visions, and in cultural history.<br /><br />The themes selected by artists and the emotional rendering of them through the artworks show an obvious trend of the time — applied art is gradually coming closer to the basic principles of fine art and manifests its potential to transcend disciplinary boundaries. Opposite to fine art that was acting under ideological restrictions, applied art served as an option for artists to speak in the language of contemporary art by creating abstract compositions and sculptural objects. At the same time innovative application of materials and experimentation with techniques and three dimensional structures came to the fore.<br /><br />Textile artists were fascinated by the idea of tapestry as a means for organizing the space and this desire materialized into life — textiles in three dimensions were created. Alongside application of classical weaving techniques one artwork in itself could combine also various handicraft techniques such as embroidery, knotting, knitting, crochet, applique, and individual techniques elaborated out by the artists themselves. Textile art experienced the influx of new, unconventional materials to weaving such as sisal, synthetics, string, rope, and metallic threads."<div>

70- ties was the time I was growing up and soaking all the culture we had around. The works in this exhibit are the ones I had seen before and was fascinated with. Now, forty years later, this exhibit in some ways was a return to my youth, and I love these works even more. I am sorry the world does not know much about Latvian artists represented in this exhibit:<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Why New York needs Textile Month? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.textilemonth.nyc/mission-statement/">Lidewij Edelkoort's manifesto</a> answers the question.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There were (and still are) some <a href="http://www.textilemonth.nyc/exhibition/">exhibitions</a> connected with it. The one in <a href="http://www.textilemonth.nyc/exhibitions/2016/9/1/museum-of-arts-design">Museum of Arts and Design</a> presents Crochet Coral Reef which "fuses mathematics" and "crenelated forms represent hyperbolic geometry" but they are careful not to mention where that idea came from. I guess that was so that they would not need to invite me to the opening of this exhibit. I was in New York City that day. I was invited to participate in another event <a href="http://www.textilemonth.nyc/exhibitions/2016/9/30/parsons-school-of-design">Talking Textiles</a> where indeed interesting talks about textiles and their role, possibilities, challenges were all day. It was really very inspiring day.</div>

It was challenging after such high praise to give my talk but I think I managed :-). I was one of the last speakers of the day, so audience was getting a little bit tired that is why some math was just in time. I am also excited that Lidewij Edelkoort will be heading <a href="http://www.newschool.edu/parsons/mfa-textiles/?show=program-faculty">a new interdisciplinary program in Parsons</a> that will explore textiles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
p.s. I am late posting this but right after my talk I had urgently leave for Riga. If you follow me on Facebook, then you know why. Now I am catching up with my blog.</div>

I remember first seeing string models when I was an undergraduate - once our instructor brought them in analytic geometry class. When I started to teach in the University of Latvia and got to teach the same geometry class I searched for those models in math department and found couple of them and damaged. I offered students a chance to repair those models instead of final exam. Two guys took the offer. In order to get a credit for the final exam they had to turn in fully repaired models before the exam starts. On a day of the exam they came in classroom the exam will be given five minutes before it looking exhausted and sighed: - We made it, - and turned in two repaired models.<br />
- You knew it! - they exclaimed. - We took the offer thinking it will be easier than the exam but it turned out we had to study properly how these models were built and what they represented, all the math behind them... <br />
I still remember this as one of my favorite teaching moments :-)<br />
Those string models were just of ruled surfaces and only one had a moving part. I do not have photos of them and have no idea what has happened to them over the years. I first remembered this story when I saw string models in the exhibit <a href="https://plus.maths.org/content/beyond-measure"><i>Beyond Measure</i> </a>in Kettle's Yard gallery, University of Cambridge in 2008.<br />
Since then I have been looking for those beautiful models everywhere I can see them. The following ones are few on display in Henri Poincare Institute in paris.<br />

During my visit I also saw in a storage at HPI several that needed repairs - or may be they are already repaired? If not, I would be happy to volunteer and also learn more about the history of these models.<br />

It appears that there are string models in Ithaca, on Cornell campus. They were discovered packed away in storage. Those are copies of famous Olivier models.<br />
The French mathematician <a href="http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Biographies/Olivier.html">Théodore Olivier</a> (1793-1853) created string models between 1839 and 1853 to teach and demonstrate descriptive geometry, some of which could be manipulated.<br />

He was a student of French mathematician Gaspard Monge, who invented descriptive geometry and was already illustrating his ideas with rudimentary string models. <a href="http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-4020-6366-4_13#page-1">Theodore Olivier</a> studied Descriptive Geometry at the École Polytechnique and went on to be a professor himself at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufacture and a tutor at the École Polytechnique. In the spirit of the École Polytechnique and Monge's mathematical empiricism, Olivier was firmly convinced that in order for students to appreciate the complexities of geometric surfaces, they must be able to 'see' them: <br />
"C'est ainsi que l'on commence à comprendre, que, lorsque l'on veut parler aux élèves des propriétés d'une surface, la première chose à faire est de mettre sous leurs yeux le relief de cette surface, pour qu'ils voient distinctement ce dont on veut leur parler". (Theodore Olivier <a href="https://archive.org/details/complmentsdegom01olivgoog">Compléments de géométrie descriptive</a>, 1845)<br />

Another experience with math models was using <a href="http://www.luxblox.com/">The Principled Block</a>. It seemed like a nice idea to get something without any instructions, particularly if it is appropriate until the age 116 - who knows, may be playing with it will help to reach that age?</div>

And finally and I would say the most exiting news for me was to learn about connections between quantum complexity and negative curvature. In 2005 when R.Freivalds spent summer in Cornell I mentioned to him that there could be a connection, I just have my feminine intuition but no knowledge to find it. He did not seem to buy that idea. However in 2014 when I had my big exhibit in Riga, Freivalds came with a group of his graduate students and asked me to explain them properly about the surface with negative curvature. When I first saw a tweet that the paper </div>
