Polka dots are a way to infinity.’ Written by Sarah Suzuki, a MoMA curator, with illustrations by Ellen Weinstein, this colorful book tells the story of an artist whose work will not be complete until her dots cover the world, From Here to infinity..
Yayoi said, ‘Our earth is only one polka dot among a million stars in the cosmos.
Some people thought the dots were tiny, like cells, and others imagined them enormous, like planets.
As she grew up, she traveled all around the world and brought her dots with her, spreading them over big cities and small islands alike.
She began to cover her paintings, drawings, sculptures, and even her body with dots.
One day, she had a vision in which the world and everything in it – the plants, the people, the sky – was covered in polka dots.
