Contemporary Art

American photographer whose intimate documentary practice, developed in Boston and New York from the 1970s onward, bore witness to queer life, addiction, love, and survival within her immediate community. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, first shown as a slide show in 1985, redefined what personal photography could be.
