Notes
Note publique d'information :
Artiste sud-africaine. Sue Williamson was born in Litchfield, England in 1941. Her
family immigrated to South Africa in 1948. Williamson studied at the Art Students'
League in New York from 1963-65 and completed a two year Fine Art Diploma at the Rorkes
Drift Art Centre from 1977-78. In 1983 she was awarded an Advanced Diploma in Fine
Art from the Michaelis School of Fine Art, Cape Town (UCT). Williamson was trained
as a printmaker, but also works in installation, constructed objects, photographic
images and video, addressing social issues or aspects of contemporary history. Her
work boldly demonstrates where she stands, and she is unsparing in her criticism of
her country’s institutions, in her own words, ‘We’re in the process of coming to terms
with the past. I think that, before we can move on, we have to reach a point where
we can find our way to a solution and say: OK, we’ve confronted our past as intensively
as possible.’
