About this artwork
The subject of this piece are the words. In hand-painted style, “Black Pussy Matters” speaks for the caring ways in which black women have used their hands, some have made it into history books, others never will. For an example: With care, corn kernels and rice were braided into hair of slaves that traveled the Underground Railroad fighting the war of freedom–fighting for her life. With care. With her hands. The rags were wrung out and the clothes…
were folded, with her hands. The small text “rag” is placed in the center. While the color of the piece is pink, the word rag draws a visual connection to the poverty, homelessness, and struggle she has fought over centuries. The color pink is associated with Disney princesses and is most often the color vaginas are portrayed. In this painting, Boo uses pink to accomplish irony: painting with this feminine color and denouncing the colors that are NOT used to represent the vagina in art–brown, dark purple, blue.
