Twin sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim have joined forces to create art together, and raise awareness of the impact global warming is having on the Coral Reef. Although the theme does not relate to my work, I find it very interesting that the sisters have chosen to work together on the project. The 'arty' twin is able to drive the creative process, where as the 'scientific' sister can bring knowledge and accuracy to the pieces. This powerful combination has resulted in an amazing result. The project has branched out to many cities across the globe and the crochet reef has expanded through workshops. I am really impressed with the result of some of the reefs, with look unrecognisable as crochet. For more information, check out their website.
