Yayoi Kusama’s exuberantly colourful Flowers that bloom at midnight 2011 is an especially large-scale blossom. With its gazing eye, it considers us at our own level, seeming to follow our movement around the space. Size often plays a significant role in fairy tales, be it through transformation, tests of character, moral lessons, or simply quirks of the magic realm. Viewers may well imagine Thumbelina, the fairy-tale girl born of a magic flower, emerging from Kusama’s work, with its polka-dotted petals and highly polished surface of otherworldly pop allure.
