For the Love of Catherine Opie
Add to cart
Catherine Sue Opie was born in Sandusky, Ohio, April 14, 1961. She received a Kodak Instamatic camera for her ninth birthday and has been making photographs ever since. She moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s where she still lives and teaches. Her work explores American identity, sexuality and community in images that range from urban landscapes to transgender women and men, drag queens, leather dykes and the BDSM scene. This issue was a collaboration between writer Alexandria Juarez and poet Leia K. Bradley.
