Artist Janet Echelman planned to give painting exhibitions in Mahabalipuram, a fishing village famous for sculpture, but her paints never arrived. So she seeded her art with what she learned from the fishermen there and took it to the city. In fact, to many cities.
Janet's site has a glorious array of her many sculptures. She also maintains a studio on Tumblr. To see how one of her pieces is set up, take a look at this video slideshow about the installation of 1.26/Tsunami:
And for a truly inspiring talk about her work and taking imagination seriously, here's her talk given at TED.
This is a person who really knows how to make lemonade from a serving of lemons.
