Cheshire Cat in a Poincaré disk v2
by Elaine
Wonderland is a place where the rules of everyday life are suspended and replaced with a different set of rules. In the book Alice in Wonderland, Alice repeatedly encounters situations that defy ordinary logic. She grows larger and smaller, time behaves strangely, and familiar assumptions no longer apply. Hyperbolic geometry asks us to do something similar. It invites us to leave behind the comfortable geometry of the classroom and enter a space where our intuition must be rebuilt.
In this embroidery, the Cheshire Cat grins slyly inside of a Poincaré disk, as if perfectly at home in a world where the familiar rules of space and perspective no longer apply in this unusual space..
