Cj Hendry's permanent flower shop in SoHo, New York, is a captivating transformation of her popular Flower Market installation. The artist's first brick-and-mortar space, unveiled on November 10, 2025, brings her unique vision to life. With a small storefront on Prince Street, Hendry creates a familiar yet uncanny atmosphere, reminiscent of a New York bodega but with a twist. The white pavilion, framed by polished metal and a scalloped awning, houses hundreds of vividly colored plush flowers, each crafted from textiles and foam. These blooms, arranged in uniform acrylic cylinders, offer a study in serial form, with identical stems varying in personality. The space, illuminated by a taut canopy, enhances the saturation of reds, yellows, and violets, creating a luminous and cozy environment. Hendry's Flower Shop is a testament to her ongoing exploration of materiality and illusion, where everyday objects are reimagined with humor and a touch of theatrics.
