Autopsicografia

13 translations of one poem, a beginning:

The poet is a faker
Who's so good at his act
He even fakes the pain
Of pain he feels in fact.

And a middle:

And those who read his cries
Feel in the paper tears
Not two aches that are his
But one that is not theirs.

And an end:

And so around its trackage
the little clockwork train
we call the heart, goes spinning
to entertain the brain.

Knitting + Geometry = Coral Reefs

'...Through Margaret’s work as a science writer she discovered Dr Daina Taimina, a mathematician who in 1997 figured out how to make models of hyperbolic geometry using crochet. This is the geometry realized in the anatomies of many reef organisms including many species of corals, kelps, sponges, and sea slugs...After exploring the geometry of these forms, Margaret and Christine came to understand that these were the forms embodied in living reefs and they conceived of the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef Project. From the start the sisters imagined the project as a collective enterprise – though they had no idea how far it would spread. To date hundreds of thousand people have seen the Crochet Reef exhibitions, thousands of people have attended workshops, and many hundreds have contributed models. The project has morphed into an amazing worldwide collaboration of creative feminine energy.'
