Despite the rising interest in fetish communities and marginalized forms of sexuality, it's still pretty rare to come across images of women that stray from perky, perfectly coiffed, überfeminine, and racially homogeneous. So for obvious reasons, the Bay Area Women of Color Photo Project is a refreshing corrective to all the fluff. Founded by model and dominatrix Ms. Heart and fetish photographer Andrew Morgan, the project unites Bay Area models and fetish photographers intent on generating images of strong, beautiful women. While the cavalcade of whip-wielding hotties and orgiastic scenarios is meant to titillate, the result leans more toward fine art. Rather than trotting out a procession of predictable babes, the project is all about beauty in diversity, which means a panoply of body types and provocative renderings of gender fluidity. The exhibition includes the iron fist/velvet glove oeuvre of Larry Utley and the fierce leather goddesses of Morgan.
