Her Infinity Mirrors immersive experience installations took the world by storm in the 21 st Century, but she has been making vibrant and innovative art all along. Her artistic practice is rooted in her lifelong fascination with the natural world, inspired by her intimate engagement with the colors, patterns, and life cycles of plants and flowers. This talk will discuss her life and extraordinary work and prepare you well to enjoy the New York Botanical Garden’s exhibition Yayoi Kusama: Cosmic Nature, on view till October 31 st .
