Hyperbolic Haunting
Since drawing the hyperbolic ghost, the image has been haunting my mind. Tonight I managed to catch her on camera.

I wanted a light and airy hyperbolic plane that would float in the breeze. I decided to try making one out of plastic bags. I cut them into heptagons, ironed them together, and voila! The ironing was not easy, but it worked. I took some pictures of the process and plan on putting together a webpage soon.

To simulate the ghost drawing in a photo, I dressed all in black, wrapped the hyperbolic plane around my waist, and belted it into place. All I need now are proper lighting, camera, and a wind tunnel!
