Janet Echelman's fluid sculptures

Just found out about this sculptor- and her wonderful, ACTIVE sculptures. The pieces are developed from netting she learned from fishermen in India. Her recent work is large and required her to research materials and create software to engineer the work's construction.

See her talk about her work at this site http://www.ted.com/talks/janet_echelman.html
