Come talk to me if you’re interested in art, or unconventional career paths. I’m an artist who produces soft billowing sculpture the scale of buildings that are animated by environmental forces like wind, water, and sunlight. (Check out my art at www.echelman.com and my TED talk, “Taking Imagination Seriously” tells the back story of my journey from Harvard to the fishing villages in India where I began knotting wind sculpture). Now my permanent sculptures span between buildings like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation in Seattle, and over urban parks in Philadelphia, Phoenix, Vancouver, and Porto, Portugal. My temporary works have been exhibited on five continents, from London and Amsterdam to Singapore, Shanghai, Santiago, and Sydney, and this spring I will collaborate with a choreographer while teaching at the Princeton University Atelier. I graduated from the college in 1987, returned to Harvard as a Loeb Fellow at the GSD in 2007, and this year began service on the Board of Overseers. I live across the river with my husband David Feldman MBA’94, and our two children.
