COMMENTS
Here June Wayne combines her irrepressible sense of humor with geological observation. The fiery underpinnings of tectonic plates peek through the surface. Below the calm, there is a sense of danger and the unpredictable lurking.
The title evidences Wayne's playful sense of humor, referring to the patches of red color that peak out from the silver surfaces. There is a sense of movement in the undulating silver surface of plates, with sparks of molten heat or lava bubbling, seeming to want to force itself out from below.
