On New Year’s day we started 2018 in the most colorful way possible. Yayoi Kusama is one of my favorite artists because she has a wig made of yarn. She is also a brilliant and weird lady that I adore. I’ve previously tried four times to get into her Infinity Mirrors exhibit unsuccessfully but finally, we got in and I was so stressed about the 45 second time frame, I only managed to take blurry photos. I don’t know how other people take such lovely photos because when you get in the lights begin to blink so timing the perfect shot isn’t easy.
This time was no different. We had about 30 seconds for each exhibit which gave me anxiety! My favorite art piece (the yellow pumpkin room) did not allow cell phones but oddly, I have seen many people posting photos on Instagram. I know the artist wants us to be in the moment and not worry about taking selfies but if I don’t have a photo, did it even happen?
This is my favorite photo of Antz
This room started off white and visitors are given dot stickers to add to the room. We were there on the very last day so we were given unlimited stickers. It was definitely Liv’s favorite room.

This is Noemie. She was Liv’s preschool French teacher and she is the reason Olivia speaks French with a native accent. I am forever grateful to this woman.
As we were leaving Olivia asked for Van Leeuwen ice cream. They seem to always be parked outside the Broad.
I canNOT wait for this exhibit to reach Atlanta later on this year. I recently heard about Yayoi Kusama via a friend on Facebook and was immediately a fan of her work. Your photos are absolutely stunning! And your outfit and hair coordinated with the art so well. It’s almost like you were a part of the exhibit. Kudos, for that!
Thanks so much, Yayoi is incredible. I know you will love the exhibit, have fun!
