In the 1960s Kusama made unusual sculpture with domestic and ordinary objects, transforming them into a fantasy. The three dimensional pods that were sewn on the ironing board are startling because they look organic like food, such as squash, or like sexual organs.
        The texture suggests the role of the female, cooking, cleaning, and being sexual, but these are put together in a surreal way, with no reason for the food to be here or the sexual organs to be there. Her creations are illogical, but at the same time make sense like a dream makes sense. They act as clues to what is really going on, perhaps in one's mind,on a different level of reality. Kusama's images, like dreams, are fantasies of the mind.
