ARTIST’S STATEMENT

SCREAMBOX was an LA dyke 'zine committed to experimentation, confrontation and titillation. Part of the early nineties queer 'zine cultural moment, SCREAMBOX had three rad issues before it became a victim of its own success. With contributions by Ingin Kim, Alice Hom, Laurel Beckman, Amy Bragdon, Catherine Opie, and others.

 
“Let’s just say it’s problematic...”
 

I do hope you'll send one of your underground mags to me....but can I, as your mother, ask you if it has to be "leud?" Do you have to have that in order to sell it? It was good to talk to you last night.

            Take care of yourself.
                  Love,
                  Mom

 
 

Dear Women,

Love your haute new queer rag. It's the best!
Wow! I'm really excited. Will write about y'all in my next issue of Fertile.

As a sexy dominant lesbian woman I'm sure I'd love to perform haute
cunnilingus on each and every one of your staff members. Yeah.

            sapphic love,

                  Vaginal Cream Davis
