Coast of Cape Ann is a perceptual exploration of the Massachusetts coastline, in which Ryan uses reverse color and negative imaging to abstract and formally examine the environment. Using the Hudson River basin as a foundation for his study, Ryan presents a blueprint for a television channel designed to monitor the ecology of a particular site in Ecochannel Design. As part of the overall project, Ryan includes proposals for inspecting the Hudson River estuary at regular intervals to convey a sense of the cyclical nature of the environment.
