“Accumulation is the result of my obsession, and through it I create a world of my own.”
— Yayoi Kusama
As with many of her editioned works from the late 1970s, Going to the Field with Shoes On demonstrates Kusama’s ability to fuse the familiar with the surreal. The print captures her ongoing exploration of how domestic and personal objects can be reimagined as emblems of obsession and infinity, transforming the everyday into a site of imaginative possibility.
