COMMENTS
In this monumental tapestry June Wayne's fingerprint is woven, straddling the waves below and the outer cosmos above, that extraterrestrial space soon occupying her artistic attention.
For her tapestries focusing on tidal waves, DNA and the cosmos, Wayne paradoxically chose a medium and historic textile ateliers associated with an antique and royal past, rather than the space age of which Wayne had become so cognizant.
