It was a beautiful exhibition at the Tate Modern.
The artist has been living in a mental health hospital since the 1970s.
I fight pain, anxiety, and fear every day, and the only method I have found that relieves my illness is to keep creating art. I followed the thread of art and somehow discovered a path that would allow me to live.

Thanks for this post. I love Kusama’s work. So inspired by the role her art takes in her life, and the world. Hope you will join us next week for the Fake Flamenco poetry challenge.
