"Printmaking has coincided with defined points of change in Aida Tomescu's practice. Whether responding to the vastness of Australia with her arrival in 1980 or exploring unresolved questions at the end of a painting series, the etching plate distilled her thought process. Working into the surface she felt the metal's resistance, it was something more essential, more felt, a new type of creative intensity and possibility was opened up." (Lucy Stranger)
