Echelman constructs realistic sculptures at the scales of buildings that alter with light and wind. The art alters from being an entity you look at, to a living atmosphere an individual can get disoriented in. Echelman uses unlikely resources from atomized water particles to fishnet. Echelman also combines prehistoric craft with radical technology to generate artworks that have become pivotal points for metropolitan life on four continents.  Janet Echelman Filmed TED in March of 2011 in Long Beach, CA (Echelman, 2016).Content Illuminates Some of the Stages of Creativity        There are four stages of creativity. The four stages are preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification.  Preparation is when the brain is using attention, reasoning, and organization to collect information. Echelman described this by talking about how she got her idea for using the fish net.  She took a walk around the beach looking for items to use to build her sculptures.  She knew that some objects would not work and use reasoning on what would work. Incubation is when an individual just lets their mind start to wander, and this leads to greater creativity.  When she walked the beach that’s when she let her mind wander. Illumination is the moment when “connections automatically, subconsciously collide and then reach the threshold of consciousness.”  Illumination happened for Echelman when she seen the fisherman using fish nets (Stillman, 2016). That was the material she needed to build her sculptures.  Verification is when your creativity reaches others.  This came into effect for Echelman when she start getting offers to make her creativity come alive in cities all across the world.
