Lot Essay

“When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots we become part of the unity of our environments” – YAYOI KUSAMA

“[Yayoi Kusama] was communing with nature, it was transporting her to what she felt like were other worlds, and that is really the foundation for her practice as it grew…” Betsy Johnson, Curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
