Yayoi Kusama is a contemporary Japanese artist who is sometimes called ‘the princess of polka dots'. Kusama works primarily in sculpture and installation, and is also active in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts- in all mediums Kusama features dots! Celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Month by creating your own dot masterpieces.
“Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos. Polka dots are a way to infinity. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environment.” - Yayoi Kusama
