Sam Nhlengethwa Mine Lithographs
In early 1996, Sam Nhlengethwa visited a number of coal, diamond and
gold mines in South Africa. He spent time underground, interacting with
the miners who inspired him to do this series. Through these images,
Nhlengethwa seeks to give dignity to the frequently forgotten miners
whose lives are spent unearthing the mineral wealth of South Africa.
The
Mine Trip lithographs have been handprinted from stones and
aluminium plates, sometimes with chine colle onto Arches and Somerset
papers. Most of the prints in the series are sold out. To see them please go to Nhlengethwa's Archive.
