These Infinity Nets earned Kusama critical and commercial respect, so, possessing business acumen, she continued to expand her polka dot painting, both on canvas and beyond, “[metamorphosing] into an environmental sculptor.” Her experimentation led her to work with continuously larger spaces, and her art became even more distinctive. Her installations, generally filled with soft sculptures, furniture, and polka dots, that came to be known as Accumulations. She would often pose for photographs with these installations, implanting herself in the art. Those who went to see these Accumulations would interact with it just as she did.
