In between overseeing large exhibitions of her work, such as last year’s ‘Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now’, her largest retrospective to date, at Hong Kong’s newly completed mega-museum M+, or her most ambitious artwork environment to date, ‘Yayoi Kusama: You, Me and the Balloons’, which showed this summer at Manchester’s Aviva Studios, she regularly adds to My Eternal Soul, a series of more than 900 acrylic paintings, started in 2009, a number of which hark back to the imagery of her earliest watercolours.
