Google image search by uploading my artwork came up with very interesting “visually similar images” – here’s a few!

The oblitaration room at Gallery of Modern Art. First day and 7 weeks later.

Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama is one of the most significant and influential artists working today. When she was a small girl she started seeing the world through a screen of tiny dots. They covered everything she saw – the walls, ceilings and even her own body. For 40 years she has made paintings, sculptures and photographs using dots to cover surfaces and fill rooms. Kusama calls this process ‘obliteration’, which means the complete destruction of every trace of something.

The obliteration room invites visitors to obliterate the completely white surfaces of a life sized Australian living room, re-created within the Gallery, with coloured adhesive dots. Children can also access the online version with Kusama’s World of Dots, where Kusama’s dots don’t always behave as expected!
