Biography
I'm a mathematician who is interested in visualising different topological shapes. I was originally attracted to mathematical art by the possibilities offered by 3D-printing. However, I quickly realised that many printable shapes can also be crocheted. Nowadays I create shapes with several different materials, but I still find crocheting the easiest way of making complex shapes. For jewelry I mostly use copper and silver wire, and different weaving and viking knit techniques. After finding my grandmothers old lace crocheting hooks and vintage lace thread I have been experimenting creating small hyperbolic surfaces from elegant ivory and pearl sized earrings to these funkier gold shaded ones.
