““Visually representing or presencing the lesbian erotic has always been difficult for lesbians. Unlike gay men, who have been free to depict differing modes of sexual practice for their own pleasure, lesbians have had difficulty escaping the ever-present male gaze. The representation of two women engaged in sexual or sexualized activities remains extremely problematic because, traditionally lesbians have been portrayed as objects for male fantasies of lesbian eroticism.””
— Harmony Hammond, “Camping Out in the Southwest,” in Out West (Santa Fe: Plan B Evolving Arts, 1999), unpaginated (via lesbianartandartists)
