How did Yayoi Kusama become an artist?
I only became aware of her when her show came to Seattle. Katie and I went to see it and found it very cool, loved the experiential nature of it. I also found her story very fascinating. Cool to see some more coverage of who she is and also a video about her aimed at kids and helping them see how they could also become an artist.

Date:Thursday, September 2, 2010 at 11:08PMI grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow I did not breed or perfect the seeds.
I do not make any of my own clothing.
I speak a language I did not invent or refine.
I did not discover the mathematics I use.
I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate, and do not enforce or adjudicate.
I am moved by music I did not create myself.
When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive.
I did not invent the transistor, the microprocessor, object oriented programming, or most of the technology I work with.
I love and admire my species, living and dead, and am totally dependent on them for my life and well being.
