COMMENTS
The Quake Series, like Wayne’s many images of the cosmos, is rooted in particular experiences that one could only come in contact with in Southern California, in this case, frequent seismic activity. (From: “June Wayne - The Art of Everything” by Robert Conway, 2007)

Here June Wayne infuses the moving plates of the earth with a dark, charred color. An unsettling feeling of heat and kinetic displacement draws us involuntarily closer to the seismic activity.
