Anne-Lise Coste was born near Marseille, France, in 1973. She studied in Marseille and in Zurich, Switzerland. After spending 4 years in New York where she worked hard, drank hard, made friendships and loved deeply she now lives and works in a small village in the south of France. Her drawings and texts have the immediacy of graffiti, and allow her to express subjective moods mixed with political criticism and literary sentences. With a dada-influenced language and intensely lyrical images, her work exudes irony, rebellion and emotion. She creates seemingly decorative compositions that actually offer us a catalogue of contemporary anxieties, where the immediacy of the gesture of drawing combines a strong poetic sense with an element of social critique.

This series of drawings was made in New York in 2013 on her brand new red designer sofa in her quiet apartment on the upper west side. She felt despair and at the same time how life can be beautifully experienced with a smart and open minded pussy. She says: "This zine is a homage to my pussy, all my girlfriends' pussies, all the pussies of this planet and art history."
