COMMENTS
Here the tidal wave bids goodbye as it recedes into the horizon.
Wayne explained her identification and use of her fingerprint as the model for the wave: "If you look at water and you look at fingerprints and you look at other things, its amazing how everything is alike. And if you look at atoms they are so boringly alike. (smiling) They look like a plateful of bb shot. The fingerprint has that wonderful rhythm to it and it’s very convincing as a wave… A fingerprint, but also the rush of a great wave.” (June Wayne, from a video conversation in her Tamarind / Hollywood studio, 2009).
