Catalogue Note

I had this hallucination where I woke up one morning and found the windows blazing red, and my hands and feet and the floor was  all covered up with bright red nets, and when I got near and touched them, the red nets stuck on my hands …That’s how I came up with the white net painting. - Kusama Yayoi
