Cj Hendry's Rorschach: Inflatable Castle and Hyper-Detailed Blobs in Brooklyn
Australian artist Cj Hendry concluded her second exhibition, 'Rorschach,' in a 300-square-meter inflatable castle set up in a DUMBO warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. The show, which charged visitors $10 for entry and a pair of socks to jump inside the padded white maze, featured hyper-detailed, photorealistic paint blobs inspired by Hermann Rorschach's psychological inkblot tests. Hendry, who built her brand largely on Instagram, was called a 'genuine social media phenomenon' by the New York Times. The drawings took nearly a year to complete with her four-person team at her Greenpoint studio.
