Artist’s statement:
Recently, I returned to an old love - etching. I love the whole process and playing with metal, ink, acid and tar. I love rolling the heavy press across the plate and waiting for the surprise of my images reversed beneath. I work intuitively and try to delve into my subconscious - I find, in recent times, my images are full of longing and memories.

Dear Sandra Mae, I saw you on ABC T.V. years ago discussing your work and life in general. It sounds as though you have really achieved heaps over many years and travelled as well. Hoping you are healthy and happy as ever. I'm working over in Newman ,Western Australia as a Maintenance Fitter and apart from the scorching summers, it's a pretty scenic place .I can relate to your comment about recent images of longing and memories. I think you always had amazing intuition. Lovely to see your name on the screen. Kindest thoughts and best regards, Pete Hamilton. (Liz's brother )Peter.Hamilton@bhpbilliton.com
