Polka dots can't stay alone. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots we become part of the unity of our environments.
Yayoi KusamaI always see these landscapes in my dreams, and feel happy. I desperately try to transform these dreams into artwork, so that even while napping, I construct and reconstruct various images.
Yayoi KusamaI think I will be able to, in the end, rise above the clouds and climb the stairs to heaven, and I will look down on my beautiful life.
Yayoi KusamaMy art originates from hallucinations only I can see. I translate the hallucinations and obsessional images that plague me into sculptures and paintings. All my works in pastels are the products of obsessional neurosis and are therefore inextricably connected to my disease. I create pieces even when I donโt see hallucinations, though.
