not that i particularly like dots. but for some reason i find this fascinating.
yayoi kusama is a japanese artist and writer. throughout her career she has worked in a wide variety of mediums, including painting, collage, sculpture, performance art, and environmental installations, most of which exhibit her thematic interest in psychedelic colors, repetition and pattern. a precursor of the pop art, minimalist and feminist art movements, kusama influenced contemporaries such as andy warhol. although largely forgotten after departing the new york art scene in the early 1970s, kusama is now acknowledged as one of the most important living artists to come out of japan, and an important voice of the avant-garde.
maybe i should use dots in my own work.... first that really awesome video about john baldessari and his dot people, and now kusama and her psychedelic dots.... hmmm. i'm sensing a trend.
