Yayoi Kusama
Yayoi Kusama. I call her the crazy dot lady. She is an 80 year old Japanese female artist that has struggled with mental illness. In her dreams she sees circles, dots, blobs that she calls an "infinity net". She has had installations where the entire room is covered in dots. She paints dots. I got to see her work in the Kennedy Center in DC and in the Phoenix Art Museum. She set up mirrors and LEDs in a dark room to create an illusionary depth of starry space. It made me dizzy. She was quoted as saying, "If it weren't for art, I would have killed myself long ago."
