Ann-Christine has set us the task today of find spots and dots, and shares three examples from the amazing work of Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, whose ‘Infinity Mirror Room’ Installation we saw at the WNDR Museum in Chicago. As we only had a minute in the room, you can understand my slightly demented look as I strove to both enjoy and photograph what was around me. You know how cool it is when you get several mirrors just right to appear to go on forever? Multiply that by a factor of a million and you might be able to imagine this.
My life is a dot lost among thousands of other dots.
— Yayoi Kusama
But let your eyes rest, look at some other examples and enjoy some random dot quotes.
Bird spots and dots and not of the droppings sort…
Purpose is the thread that connects the dots to everything you do that leads you to an extraordinary life.
— Oprah Winfrey
Prickly desert spots and dots…
Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well worn path. ~Steve Jobs
Frozen spots and dots…
Grandchildren are the dots that connect the lines from generation to generation. ~Lois Wyse
And at the other temperature extreme, some almost-boiling spots and dots.
I don’t think Seurat would have been aware of the dots – he would have been aware of what he was trying to do. The dots were an instrument.
— Frank Auerbach
Happy mid-May! I hope wherever you are that you’ve gotten at least one vaccination shot and are able to spend time with friends and family in person.
This, that and the other thing 
that infinity room was amazing !
That it was!
Great post, Janet, with great photo choices! I like the mirror room installation, too. 🌞
That mirror room was awesome!
That Seurat quote about dots was a nice surprise and the flow of the dots and spots photo was so nice Janet
The opening photo of the mirror room was quite a treat
Wonderful quotes Janet and interesting photos
Many of the quotes about dots I found were from Steve Jobs. 😄. Glad you liked the photos as well.
I love to put quotes with photos ..makes it more interesting
And so easy to find using the internet.
That’s right
What a wonderful and varied set of spots and dots…
Hi, Judy, and thanks as always for stopping by. I’m glad you enjoyed the spots and dots. It was fun choosing them.
The one with the ice crystals on the flower head was incredible. What was the story behind it? Do you know what flower it was?
I always loved winter and ice shots. I’m not sure what that was before it became part of an ice sculpture for me but it was so beautiful in its icy coat.
Such a contrast. Really an excellent shot.
Another beautiful collection, Janet! I find the markings on bird eggs especially fascinating. How they manage to blend into the pebbles and gravel on the ground to disappear in plain sight.
This one had either been plundered or hatched, but this photo shows the good side. If it were in the grass, it would be almost impossible to see.
What a good collection of spots, #1 is exceptional
Thanks very much, Alice. The room was a place I could have spent a lot more time because there were so many different looks. It was fascinating.
Great spots and dots Janet. Excellent selections. I love the boiling water. Most observant.
Fabulous examples, Janet! That first is incredible 🙂 🙂
Thanks, Jo. The infinity room was just amazing and when I saw Ann-Christine’s first examples, I knew immediately I had to use it. The others I found while scrolling through files, which is usually fun. 🙂
Great selection, Janet,! I’m struggling with this challenge!😊
I immediately thought of the infinity room but had to go through lots of files before finding the photos. The others I found while scrolling through files. I’m sure you’ll come up with something and if not, enjoy the day off. 🙂 Some weeks I just don’t have time or the challenge doesn’t appeal so I stick with 6WS and OWS, both of which I really enjoy.
Yes, best way!
Nice choices, Janet. I can’t add anything else to the previous comments. 🙂
I’m happy you liked them, Tom. Happy Sunday.
Happy Sunday to you too! 🙂
That room is awesome!
That it was, Teresa. Just not enough time to appreciate it thoroughly. 😦
A splendidly dotty gallery, Janet.
Thanks, Tish. Happy you enjoyed them.
Wow, I would love to see that infinity room, it looks amazing! And I love your prickly pear shot and the simplicity of the almost-boiling eggs 🙂
The infinity room would have been even better if we’d been able to spend a few more minutes there. So much to see and enjoy. I’m glad you enjoyed the other shots, too. When I saw the eggs about to boil, I had to take a picture and then this prompt came along as if it were meant to be. 🙂

Fantastic, Janet! One of your most creative posts! Love it!
Wow, thanks, Resa! ❤️
❤
That opening image has a lot going on. Love it! …. and including a touch of the dessert was brilliant. I enjoyed this, Janet!
That room was wondrous, Frank. Glad you enjoyed the desert spots as well.
Great eye you have. Lovely photos
Thanks so much. 🥰

Thanks so much! Dots are everywhere. 🙂

An amazing artist. This exhibition has just arrived in London but it’s hard to get tickets even though In a member of the Tate. I’m waiting for the next release. But your post has helped me in the wait. 😀
It’s worth the wait, Debbie. 🙂
Just loved these, Janet! Glad you chose to show the infinity room as well – I enjoyed your choices very much! Not least the cacti!
Had to include something from Arizona, right? 🙂 Spots here can be quite prickly, though. The infinity room was awesome. Just didn’t get enough time to enjoy it.
Maybe you will get a second chance!
Fabulous post Janet – the art installation is incredible and probably the best set of dots I’ve seen this week! Also loved your very clever image of the everyday boiling eggs. Kudos!!
Praise from the praiseworthy is always treasured, Tina. Thank you. ❤️
Wow… what an amazing spot and dot selections! Great shots, Janet.
Thanks so much, Amy. I really appreciate that.
My mother used to make my dresses when I was little, and I always wanted dotted Swiss. We couldn’t always afford the material, but I always asked. Greedy little soul!
🙂 I can see it stunted you, Marian. My mom made lot of our clothes, too.
Sorry – I do not know why my comment went up by Lisa
🙂
I have no idea how I missed this glorious post — great photos. Very unusual subjects, but up close they’re quite artsy. A very nice addition to this challenge!
Thanks. I don’t know how you found it now, but I’m happy you did. Your lovely comment is much appreciated. 😉
