Timeline covers On Our Backs magazine, a revolutionary periodical of which I’m very proud to have shot 2 multi-image pictorials for them in the early 90’s…
Modern women’s sexual expression is exploited & co-opted by advertising & marketing packaged for the male gaze. This leaves a void in authentic female sexuality. Then, in a rejection of the proliferation of this male skewed sexual imagery, the intelligencia often criticizes women who claim their own sexuality, be it for their own pleasure, consumption or intellect, and who use it in their work etc. On Our Backs went against the grain and depicted sexual imagery of women, for female consumption, lesbian female consumption, authentic and original. The idea of making sexually explicit imagery to be consumed by women and created for the female gaze, was and still is unbelievable radical. Suzie Bright, had the ovaries to create this venue. Yah this is the sh*t. xoxooxox
The Fine Line Between Sexy and Sickness, —Hyperallergic, Peter Dobey
“Tall & thin Clark easily embodies the current beauty ideal, which is part of what makes it so effective when she ruptures the continuity of the illusion which she has created…she indicts the viewer for objectifying her, but desire is a double edged sword as she is complicit in this objectification.”–Hyperallergic
