Stellar Winds

 
 
“June Wayne’s contribution lay in conspiring with the lithographic process itself to generate images by harnessing natural phenomena. The chemical action becomes a paradigm for the invisible energy of stellar winds converted into matter in space-suggesting the attendant shock waves or magnetic forces of emissions streaming from the stars.”
— Pat Gilmour, June Wayne The Djuna Set.

“Many years after Wayne’s Velowind, researchers detected the existence of a plasma wind in data from the European Space Agency’s Cluster spacecraft. It is thought likely “that other planets also have similar winds that would transfer some of their atmospheric material into surrounding space.”

“The work has not been motivated by a desire to illustrate new physical theories, but to invent metaphors which expand aesthetic sensibilities. In this respect art, like science, widens our knowledge by representing possibilities and making inferential constructions, so that any new image or metaphor offers analogies that no one noticed before.”
— Pat Gilmour, June Wayne The Djuna Set.
