LAURA AGUILAR

plush pony #1


Laura Aguilar (1959- ) describes herself as "a mostly self-taught photographer" whose artistic goal "is to create photographic images that compassionately render the human experience, revealed through the lives of individuals in the lesbian/gay and/or persons of color communities. Hopefully the universal elements in the work can be recognized by other individuals' communities and can initiate the viewer to new experiences about gays, lesbians and people of color."  

This image is from a series taken in Plush Pony, a bar in East Los Angeles popular with Latina lesbians.
