Coochie Mirrored (‘Coochie Series’) “Coochie” (italiano "Cocchina") is commonly used to call out something cute and cuddly or it can name the intimate part of a woman. These characters were born from a body of music I created. They arrived as portraits of companions and life experiences I’ve known. When searching the term on the internet I discovered “coochie” used overwhelmingly in the context of pornography. Using a play on words I then decided to reclaim the term as it ironically inspired me to express different sentiments and complexities of the feminine experience as I know it. In my painting "Coochie Mirrored",the women are both wear veils to shield themselves. The Catholic coochie is mourning the loss of either Christ or her husband, whilst the Muslim coochie is being hidden for her religion and husband. The underwear they are wearing represents the importance of their vaginas by both sectors, being almost the opposites of what it is that they are supposed to protect. I want the viewer to feel and see their secret life as a sexual journey and as a spiritual one. An identity truely hidden; thrir duality of love and pain, as being born a woman is sin, constituted by man. Web: http://antonellasigismondi.com
