COMMENTS
In her attention to the outer cosmos, June Wayne reflected on solar flares in a portfolio of lithographs.
“Yellow is such a desperate color to work with... It has no value. You can see it only to the degree that you have contaminated it. I had to put gray in to keep it from disappearing.”
—June Wayne
“In Solar Flares, Wayne introduced the compositional device of placing one field within another. This would characterize much of her work in lithography over the next five years. The scale of both fields is deliberately ambiguous—probably vast and immeasurable, yet possibly microscopic—and the boundaries between what we assume are separate planes are deliberately breached.”
—“A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything” by Robert P. Conway).
