I hope I can go to this, but have to check my schedule.
I just realized that Tee must have created her last name from the book by Madame de Stael.

In Tee's GLBTQ Encyclopedia entry, Tamsin Wilson says:
In 1985 Yantras was seized by New Zealand customs, but released by the Indecent Publications Tribunal on the grounds that the abstractness of the photographs meant that even young children could glance at the book and not be corrupted! This "open hidden-ness" is also a rich metaphor for lesbian sexuality itself--invisible unless you know what to look for, and then, suddenly, it has been there all along.
Combining technical skill in a variety of media, aesthetic inventiveness, and a sexual openness absent from much "bad girl" lesbian pornography, Tee Corinne invented a new language for lesbian sexual power.
