Foodie Ink Blot Artwork

This Food Test Art is a Hungry Psychiatrists Dream

In many shows and movies a parody is done about the dreaded ink blot tests, but these Rorschach test depictions are actually yummy.

Artist Esther Lobo has created delectable tests that don't seem scary at all. She has used household food items such as peanut butter, yogurt, ice cream and condiments to create her images. No outside manipulation has been used, Lobo put the product on soft plates and then blended them together. After she had combined the plates, she then realized the symmetrical images that were created.

When you look at these food tests, it's easy to begin to pick out familiar images from the pictures, but don't worry, because there are no wrong answers with this inkblot experiment.
