Cj Hendry launches a look at her first permanent art installation in Miami dubbed the HOOPS Tree. The artist is known for her work in the realm of modern art and the HOOPS Tree measures 20 feet tall and is decorated with 34 hoops. Notably, passersby can interact with the art like showing basketballs through the 34 hoops. It has a deep blue color and can be found in the Wynwood art district.
Henry explains, “It’s been a focus to try my hand at public art. I enjoy the intimacy of my drawing practice but there is a part of me which gets frustrated because I want to make larger works. I have been building multi-faceted large-scale exhibitions for quite some time, but the downside to building a temporary exhibition is that it’s only temporary. This HOOPS concept is my first foray into a permanent public concept.”
