Hi everyone, the visual artist that stood out to me the most as an early childhood educator was Yaoi Kusama, a Japanese artist, who is known for her mesmerising and psychedelic installations, paintings, and sculptures. Her works often feature polka dots, infinity nets, and mesmerising patterns that evoke a sense of infinity and the universe's vastness. 

 

Kusama's art is deeply personal and reflects her ongoing struggle with mental illness. She uses her work as a means of self-expression, healing, and connecting with others. 

 

Her iconic Infinity Rooms are one of her most popular works, and they create a sense of endlessness and wonder. Visitors can step inside a mirrored room filled with twinkling lights or glowing pumpkins, experiencing an immersive and otherworldly environment.

 

Selected element of design: Repetition - Kusama's use of polka dots, nets, and repetitive patterns creates a sense of infinity and endlessness in her works. The repetition also gives her art a sense of rhythm and movement, drawing the viewer's eye across the canvas or installation.
