Chromatic Fields
Sliced pool noodles, wire mesh, steel wire, flex neon and LED lights
By Adela Andea, 2018
Houston area artist Adela Andea transforms a familiar summertime staple into clouds of color and light. The installation, which spans 145 feet, is made from pool noodles sliced into hundreds of thousands of plastic discs. These pieces are then sewn onto wire mesh and strung from a truss 19 feet above Avenida de las Americas, in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center.
The colors of Chromatic Fields reflect the rainbow, in celebration of National Pride Month. Thousands of feet of flux neon and LED lights light up every evening on The Plaza at Avenida Houston through June 30.
