“In the 1990s my anger dissipated. Apartheid was no more. There were things to probe and criticise, but the emphasis was different. Lyricism seemed not only permissible but possible. In the late ‘90s I became aware of colour as a particular quality of this place and its light that I wanted to explore. It seemed ‘thin’, yet intense. To achieve prints that would hold these qualities I would need to print in colour in a way that was similar to that which I had developed for my black and white work … Over the generations, the land has shaped us - I say us in the broadest sense, us South Africans. And we have shaped the land. It is almost impossible now to find a pristine landscape. The grass has been grazed to the point of being threadbare, crops come and go, roads traverse, fences divide, and mines penetrate and throw up scabs of their detritus. These and our structures are the marks of our presence. I am drawn by the intimacies of our association with this land.” David Goldblatt

The Docrats' lavatory was part of this concrete structure that supported the water tank of their house in Fietas. The Docrats were "Asians" and the area in which they had lived since the 1880s had been declared a Group Area for whites by the apartheid government. So they were moved to Lenasia and their house on 20th Street Pageview/Fietas was destroyed. However the front-end loaders couldn't bring down this core which stands to this day.

War memorial, erected in 1946 in memory of the 'boys of Hanover' killed in the Second World War. The monument's fishpond acquired an 'apron' of barbed wire and netting in the early 1990s, to protect, according to a municipal official, its 'abundant goldfish' from birds and to prevent children from paddling in its waters. No one recalls when the pond dried up. Hanover, Northern Cape. 12 February 2005 , 2005
