Rorschach's image~

i stretch the cloth-it looks like

a frame of a wide world

         fastened with

 powerful pins of my mind

Picking colors

I daub…daub; the colors

mix and spread

        make patterns,

swirl along the fabric

it's a mental effort-

  creating such centuries old craft

         A batik work!

 My instincts lead me

        without synchronizing,

               without any plans; softly

        set heavens alight 

The paintings are

           abstract,

                       full of lines,

                           flattering and heckling... 

Thousand rainbows 

                  bulge over; full of blotches

but they artfully

         Smudge

                 Swirl, 

                        blot and 

                               blend again

...to finally etch-

       Not a single drop   

   Penetrates the wax

Till I crack the veins myself

                        The succeeding echoes….

Are for everyone to marvel!!

  Technically, my mind didn't work hard at imposing meaning on the images. It felt more like a tarot reading, than a proper psychometric test! Smiles...I used to do a lot of batik work once upon a time. So, Rorschach inkblot images brought back those memories…  

[Batik is a very old art form from Indonesia, South Eastern Asia, that consists of wax painting and fabric dye-ing, to create beautiful designs that can be worn, hung on the wall, or used for pillowcases and sheets.  In this dyeing method, designs and patterns are first traced on fabric with hot liquid wax. Then several colors are used, with a series of waxing, dyeing, and drying steps… The most interesting part is to create the "crack" effect on the fabric by balling up, and crushing the fabric. The cracked-wax sections have veins of the color in them...]

My creation- a bed cover

The idea behind the Rorschach, or indeed any projective measure, is that when presented with an ambiguous stimulus, we will project our own unconscious feelings, desires, fears, and/or wishes on it
