Taking imagination seriously - Janet Echelman

[@MsGnor]

Janet has totally hit the spot for me with this one. Spellbinding work. Mesmerising to watch, gently floating in the breeze. Love her collaborations with traditional humble fisherman and high-tech industry. Can one wonder what ever happened to her dull paintbox?!

[@Celeste-in-Oz]

This is a graphic lesson in entrepreneurship if ever there was one! Putting yourself in a position where you have to come up with something; and placing collaboration at the core of your work. Of course remarkable creativity helps!

seeing art in everything is an art itself.

Jksda Alecs I liked your quote so much that I want to post it on Instagram. Can I post it? If so, do you want me to say your name or do you prefer being anonymous?

[@AbsentWithoutLeaving]

I have always been mesmerized by the motion of fabric on the wind. As a child, I would stand and stare at flags, the larger the better, as they traced every subtle ripple and current of the invisible medium through which they moved. My family would laugh at how I would lean out of their arms and reach up towards the flag, remarking how much I loved the flag. But it wasn't the flag, it was the motion that I was in love with. To this day, I can still sink into a meditative state while watching a flag's incessant motion in the air. I would so love to see these monumental fiber objects in motion!

just grow a mangrove in center of the town, it will look rather fantastic, and fit in a fountain in the center of that which can be seen from miles away..

[@Hithere-ct2kp]

How do these affect birds?

[@InfidelisEra]

Hi there I just thought of that. Birds and bats probably get caught in the net. Horrible

[@merrowley]

​@@InfidelisEra theyre colored birds can see them just fine to avoid them and they dont seem to be in areas that have an abundance of bats. windows are actually a bigger danger to birds than these.

[@markb.humble6945]

the nets are designed to collect and gather birds.

[@Loenthall88]

Just beautiful. I am so grateful for those who seek to create beauty and to remind people that it matters.

[@CoffeePRODirect]

beautiful. how about birds?

[@priscilla4822]

That was my thought

[@diogodavid3557]

At least in Porto's 'sculpture' the net is too low for most birds (and even the 'holes' between the strings are not too small). The major problem would be seagulls but they rarely go in the net's direction

[@matrinoxtm]

"Most needed". It's nice but it's not needed.

[@JAMaxeRestoration]

Been done, Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
