Publish Date: 2010-02-11 12:36:55
Description: The connection between textiles and mathematics is intimate but not often explored, possibly because textiles and fiber arts have traditionally been the domain of women while mathematics was viewed as a male endeavour.

In this presentation, Dr. Gerda de Vries examines the connection between textiles and mathematics, in the context of both traditional and contemporary quilts.
