Dykes on b/w by Chloe Sherman

Women’s tattoos are distinguished by their sentimental nature. Lesbian relationships are common in female prisons; acronyms and phrases declaring undying love are popular. The text at the top reads: ‘If you want to grab grief - fall in love with me!’ and below ‘Let my love lie on your life like a tombstone’.

Deborah Remington (American, 1930-2010), Untitled, 1954. Oil on canvas, 48 x 70 in.

“dyke” photographed by catherine opie, 1993

In 1998 Catherine Opie embarked (along with her dog) on a “great American road trip.” Over three months she completed a 9,000-mile journey across the United States photographing lesbian families and couples in their home environments. The resulting series of photographs titled Domestic (1995–98) presents these families involved in everyday household activities: relaxing in their backyard, hanging out in their kitchen, or playing with their children. There is no sensationalism here. These intimate photographs speak both to Opie’s identification with her subjects and to the overwhelming absence of such images in mainstream representations.
