Dream by Yayoi Kusama Explore Mondoir Collection Medium: Collage, Pastel, Enamel, Acrylic Marker Pen on Paper Dimensions: 72.5 x 51.3 cm Year: 2005 Price on request Status: available Why collect this work?Dense dotted fields gather around insects, fungi and vegetation, making Dream a compressed collision between pattern and pictured life rather than a coherent scene. The catalogue profile identifies dots and net-like patterns as central to Kusama’s practice. Here, repetition presses against recognisable natural forms and partially absorbs them.In the photograph, dark bands curve inward toward a yellow floral cluster, a small insect and oversized mushrooms. Abrupt shifts in scale keep these fragments from settling into a stable landscape.The documented collage, pastel, enamel and acrylic marker on paper support contrasting visual registers: specific figurative fragments coexist with drawn and painted patterns that bind the crowded field.This work gives a concrete reason to consider Kusama’s repetition alongside figuration. Its insects and fungi recast dots and nets as an enclosing habitat, poised between decorative order and organic proliferation.
