The image above is the before. And just wait til you see the after, below – but not yet! Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s installation ‘Look Now, See Forever’ is currently on display at the Queensland Art Gallery in Brisbane, Australia. What’s fantastic about her work, is that she provides the canvas, (these white rooms); the viewer then, provides the art.

When viewers enter these rooms, any children that are with them are given coloured paper dots of various sizes to place wherever they please. Over weeks of the life of the installation, the effect becomes quite mesmerizing, and probably makes the adult visitors wish they were under 12 again.
