Awarded a Burning Man Honoraria grant covering 40% of the budget. Built over eleven months by a volunteer crew, half of whom found the project through the artist posting rather than knowing anyone on it. Shown again at two decompression events and a Colorado regional.
Between November 2023 and October 2024 I led a team of volunteers to build the largest and most complex piece of art I have finished. The engineering write-up is still being drafted; the story of how it got funded is in the writing section.
