Label copy

P.B. is a character from Naomi Fisher’s video Myakka (2010), which depicts a group of women who live communally in the wilderness of the Florida wetlands. During the video’s production, the artist used paintings and drawings to conceive and develop the characters and feminist themes of the piece. P.B., staring at the viewer and painted with a bold X, captures Fisher’s view of “women’s relationship with the world as transformative . . . although sometimes [requiring] a coat of war paint.”
