Rebecca Chernow: #superbloom

Artist Rebecca Chernow’s immersive installation simulates a California poppy field at sunset made from familiar plastic items that are often disposed of on the ground in downtown Santa Ana: the iconic green straws from Starbucks and orange shopping bags from Fallas’ department store, both located just a few blocks from Grand Central Art Center. For months, the artist collected these discarded materials in order to create a synthetic portrait of a surreal California landscape that is colorful, delicate, and ephemeral. More importantly, #superbloom was created to be documented by the individuals who experience the installation. Please feel free to take as many images of yourself in the space as you wish, and upload them to social media to add to the image library of the #superbloom.
