Women's Studio Workshop: "The artist references her native Australian high country, where the ancient stones evoke feelings of loss for past generations."  Tana Kellner: "Speaking the Stone is a meditation on an Australian landscape in a foldout format. The etchings were inspired by a poem 'Fugitive Pieces' by Anne Michaels, which is printed on the first page." Patricia Wilson-Adams, University of New Castle, Australia: "Patricia Wilson-Adams’ career as a Printmaker began with a commitment to community based workshops following three years spent in the late 60s and early 70s at Atelier 17, Paris. The workshop was run by the famous surrealist artist S.W. Hayter. Her time in Paris was supported by a French Government scholarship for a place at the Cité Internationale des Artes. She then went on to help establish the Islington Print Workshop in London and became the first artist-in-residence at the now well known Kalã Institute in Berkeley California (1975/76). Since then she has been associated with the Newcastle Printmakers Workshop." Canadian writer Anne Michaels' debut novel, Fugitive Pieces (1957), reaped praise and awards, including the Trillium Book Award, the Orange Prize for Fiction, and the Guardian Book Prize.
