Tenth Memory

Wayne's involvement with her own art is often eclipsed by her roles as founder of Tamarind and spokesperson for printmaking. Tenth Memory exemplifies her command of the most difficult of lithographic drawing media, the tusche wash (a greasy liquid used to create the effect of wash drawing). Here she employs the medium to spectacular effect: the swirling patterns known as retriculations are achieved only with an exercise of great control by both artist and printer.
