My inspiration: Rorschach
From MOMA site: "This painting belongs to a series modeled on the famous "inkblot" test
invented by the Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach. Whereas the actual
test provides ten standardized blots for a patient to decipher, Warhol
invented his own, achieved by painting one side of a canvas and then
folding it vertically to imprint the other half. Ironically, Warhol
originally misinterpreted the clinical process, believing that patients
created the inkblots and doctors interpreted them: “I thought that when
you went to places like hospitals, they tell you to draw and make the
Rorschach Tests. I wish I’d known there was a set.” Because of this
misunderstanding, Warhol’s Rorschach series is one of the few in which
the artist does not rely on preexisting images."
Working on my own Rorschach :-)
