KUSAMA COLLECTION

Inspired by the pattern work of Yayoi Kusama, a Japanese contemporary artist who is well known for their avant-garde sculpture, paintings, and installation art, this collection explores the meditative quality that can be found in repetition. The repetition found in her pattern work suggests infinity, using art as a coping mechanism for a lack of control over her own life, either consciously or subconsciously wanting to control how others perceive time and space while experiencing her work. During these trying times I have found an escape through this accumulation of dots.
