I can tell you everything you need to know about an artist in under a minute.
Don’t believe me? Three, two, one.
Yoko Ono, Japanese artist, musician, and activist known for art in unexpected places, including in bed, where she protested against war with her husband, John Lennon, from The Beatles.
Beetles being something you wouldn’t normally want to find in bed. How dare you!
Ono’s art always has a big idea. Like Ceiling Painting, which was so high, you needed a ladder.
And a magnifying glass to see the tiny ‘yes’ on the ceiling. Found it.
Ono loves getting people involved in her art.
With her work Wish Tree, Ono invites everyone to share their wishes for peace. The wishes live on with her artwork.
Imagine Peace Tower in Iceland, a 4000-meter-high beam of light powered by the Earth’s crust.
It shines brighter than a grown up’s phone when they leave the torch on.
Yoko Ono completed. Bye Yoko.
