Tony Bomford's Hyperbolic Rugs

Tony Bomford (1927-2003) made a series of hooked rugs based on the Coxeter/M.C. Escher hyperbolic tiling patterns. He started the series in 1981.

You can find a useful biography and listing of the rugs (and further discussion) on Doug Dunham's pages as a series of PDF files (e.g. http://www.d.umn.edu/~ddunham/dunham04.pdf ).

Fibonacci Textiles

Fibonacci quilt (Louise Mabbs)

Today I popped along to an exhibition in Portslade, of quilts and textiles designed around the Fibonacci Series ("Fun With Fibonacci 2"), part of a larger display called Art in Creation 3 (19-21 May 2011).

The main exhibiting designer, Louise Mabbs, also creates fabric origami, and other mathematically inspired hybrid pieces.
