Blot prints


Blot prints have been a tool used by psychologists for many years, otherwise known as the Rorshcach test. The general idea of this test is to examine a persons emotional functioning and  personality characteristics. Each of the prints have perfect bilateral symmetry. The patient would be shown various different "inkblot" prints and they have to describe what they are seeing. The psychologist would analyze not only what the patient thinks that they see, but the complexity of their thoughts. 


Some of my own blot prints. 












 This kind of "bilateral symmetry" occurs in nature constantly.. I think thats why alot of these prints are similar of natural things, (even though this was not purposeful) such as organs, plants and animals. The joy of these images is that their interpretation is completely up to the viewers imagination
