About This Quote
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere. The Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama has used this quote in her work since the 1980s. She uses various rooms in her art gallery to display her paintings in different ways. Sometimes she sets them out on the floor in a line, other times she puts them on walls, and sometimes she even covers them completely with mirrors.
However, as Kusama says, everything is subject to change. In some cases, it may be for the better or for the worse.
