About the event
Join us for Super Bloom, an immersive gallery experience by Quinn Faylor presented by PLAYGROUND DETROIT. Super Bloom is an exhibition of meticulously crafted 3D sculptures and paintings ground in vibrant abstraction and imaginative world-building. Created through processes including CNC and lap joinery manufacturing, the sculptures' lively colors and dynamic forms draw viewers into an exhilarating realm, inviting reflections on personal identity as an assemblage of continuous parts. These works explore the embodiment of queerness and celebrate the extraordinary potential within relationships. The symbolic lap joinery in these sculptures emphasizes balance and trust. These forms represent both personal and collective growth into new spaces.
