COMMENTS
June Wayne, who was preoccupied by the relationship of art to science for the last 45 years of her life, chose “Distant Black Action” for the cover of the Catalogue Raisonné “June Wayne – The Art Of Everything” by Robert Conway. Reflecting on the forces and origins of the universe, Wayne cinematically places a pitch black mass in the center and surrounds it with panels depicting cosmic action and reaction. Experimental in subject matter, it also takes mixed-media to a new level, deploying acrylic, styrene chips and multiple lithographs to create a hallucinogenic collage.
