The Sydney Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef was exhibited in August, 2009 part of a global project created by Margaret and Christine Wertheim of the Institute for Figuring in Los Angeles to celebrate the Great Barrier Reef in Austrailia and raise awareness of how pollution and global warming are threatening its existence.
