Cool today, but unmistakably Spring. Lunch with Ms 18 in Carlton. When I was a student at Melbourne University, I would sometimes meet my mum for lunch.

Yesterday I did a walkthrough of the rooms for the AustMS conference and chose the space for the inaugural art exhibition. (This isn’t it; this is the tearoom, where we enjoy this work from the university’s art collection.)

The drawing form was initially an adaptation to make a needle-free version for outreach activities where tracking the needles was difficult. But it was ideal for the 100 day Math Art Challenge. With stitching there are two patterns- there’s another on the reverse. I’ve used plastic needles recently

#MathPhoto25 For less than the cost of a cup of coffee, I could have taken all this playful maths home from the charity shop. However, I do already own them all, including the Dr Woo puzzle centre bottom.

You might like this little prototype for some brooches I made for the people who helped me with my Bridges workshop. In one direction 2025 in binary. In the other, vowels/consonants in Bridges as 0/1.

An unexpected pleasure while visiting friends was this museum in Baarn. “We are Nature” is an exhibition initiated by Princess Irene (aunt of the current King) who encourages us to enjoy the benefits of time in nature and to take better care of it. No photos, no talking- stilte. Many different media

This might not have been the angle I would have chosen, but my friend has appropriately caught a reflection of me in the window.

Today I am visiting friends in Baarn. We walked down a little street, and look what we found. This is the home of the publishing company. Escher lived in Baarn, but not in this house.
