Photography in Printmaking
The processes of printmaking allow for the seamless incorporation of photographic images. Using photo-based techniques, artists in South Africa have transformed straightforward, documentary representations into more nuanced, interpretive images. Using screenprint and photolithography, Jo Ractliffe, Zwelethu Mthethwa, and Anton Kannemeyer have altered, layered, and reconstituted their own photographs. Sue Williamson has used photocopy to explore historical events and documents, while Ernestine White uses it to create self-portraits full of ambiguity.
