COMMENTS
Continuing her travels around the surfaces and atmospheres of the planets in her Cognitos series, June Wayne created “Rhed", perhaps homage to the red planet. “It made me do a lot of thinking about the color red, really a very rough color to do anything with. It has such a powerful “is-ness” that I can’t get beyond that.”
—June Wayne, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything” by Robert P. Conway, Rutgers University Press, 2007.
