Hi! 

 

My name is Ryan Longo and I’m an artist and designer living in Toronto. I find inspiration in the relationship between nature, technology and how it manages to work itself into our lives. My passion is in working with my hands and creating. I focus on using industrial materials to create a natural ascetic. When I get a chance to experience nature I’m so blown away how the natural world is the perfect machine. Every random element has a purpose.

 

Light has become a common theme in most of my work in the past few years. Its give the art another dimension and opens up many different ways to show my work. Burning Man has defiantly been a catalyst in my artistic life. In 2012 I built a costume piece for a friend for there return journey to the festival. It was the first time I ever made a piece of costume and it was defiantly had an impact on this persons experience. 

 

Since then my art has grown. It has become more refined and my process has matured. Because of this I've brought many different people into my life through art. This has had a incredible impact on my life. The experiences created for other through my art keeps driving me to take it to the next level.
