E.G. Crichton
California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland

E.G. currently uses photography in combination with other media to explore historical and personal issues of sexual and gender identity. Her inspiration includes many years of participation in passionate debates about who is and who does what in the sexual scheme of things, as well as historical and theoretical research. She says, "The art that most excites me and that I seek to create myself, transcends formal "art" boundaries to actively engage in social/community contexts." E.G. has lived in San Francisco for twenty years, and has participated in Gay, Lesbian and Leftist activities. She is also the founder and art editor of OUT/LOOK Magazine, a National Lesbian and Gay quarterly published from 1988 through 1992.
