Hi. I’m Ryan. I’m not very good at building websites, so this will have to do for now.


I’m applying for an honorarium art grant for Burning Man’s 2011 "Rites of Passage". I call mylarge-scale interactive installation “Double Rainbow Passage”.

Here are some basic links pertaining to my proposal:

Budget: a detailed spreadsheet of materials and numbers

Physical description: this text was submitted as part of the application

Images: I’m not very good at drawing, but these should give you an idea
