I created this design for my friend Amanda Payne for her feminist zine Two Pussies. She was looking for feminine, sexual, beautiful, woman empowering art, literature or crafts, and the idea of a pussy with the vulva, labia, clitoris in the shape of a heart came to me as the embodiment of these requests. These words and images have always been difficult to discuss or view in the public sphere, this image attempts to denaturalize this stigma by encasing it in a common expression of love. Since the recent administration has targeted women socially and politically, as well as reproductive and gender rights, this image feels even more relevant and necessary than when I made it.
