Vanessa Conte makes paintings, drawings, and stories that involve erotic images of fleshy women’s bodies being being punished and pounded. We had a very deep and sexy conversation about kink, Italo Calvino, obliteration fantasies, submission and domination, origins in erotic writing, playing with and denying narrative, fantasy vs reality, making art that people jerk off to, vulnerability, being artistically driven my need and desire, translating physicality and feeling into images, and being inspired by film.
