“A Forest Fire Between Us” is an exhibition of works by West Coast-based photographer, lesbian sex activist and educator Tee A. Corinne (1943-2006) — and the most extensive solo presentation of Corrine’s photos to date. In her 2001 book “Intimacies,” Corrine writes: “If I became a ‘visible and accessible lesbian artist,’ it is because of the images I made to fill a perceived void, to fill those blank spaces where desire and questioning and transcendence converged, where my intellectual longings and seven years of university art training responded to the social and cultural forces set in motion in the 1960s.” On view Sept. 14–Nov. 30. 939 S. Santa Fe Ave, Los Angeles. webberrepresents.com
