COMMENTS
In 1967 The Doors with Jim Morrison at the helm released “Break On Through to the Other Side”. A year later June Wayne created “To Get to the Other Side”. While it is unknown if the similar titling was more than a coincidence, there appears to be a certain thematic confluence. Showing once again her mastery of lithography, Wayne deploys a crumpled paper image to showcase a sudden and cataclysmic breakthrough. What will remain and evolve from this violent rupture is only hinted at. The lemming-like people present in other environmental works also appear here.
