Yayoi Kusama for International Women's Day

To celebrate this International Women’s Day, myself and three other artists teamed up with Domestika to illustrate some of our favourite female icons.

Kusama has also overcome her share of adversity - she has experienced visual hallucinations since she was a child, and at 92 she’s still creating work, while she resides voluntarily in a psychiatric hospital.
