Prints
The majority of Zeigler’s artwork from this period utilizes printmaking and photographic media – combining these modes of representation into single images, and considering their distinct, historically-grounded evocations of subjectivity and objectivity. Etching, lithography and screen-printing, provided for an extension of her drawing practice, as she used drawing techniques to subtly explore and shift the image content of her print work. Photo-etching, photo-lithography allowed Zeigler to increase the scale of her images to sizes that, in the mid-seventies, were not yet widely explored in ‘pure’ photographic processes.
