Label TextA central participant in the feminist art movement, June Wayne is known for her art advocacy, scholarship, and foundation of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in New Mexico. The artist’s commitment to lithography in in the late 1940s and subsequent founding of Tamarind in 1960 helped revitalize American interest in the printmaking technique. This print is nearly identical to Wayne’s 1986 lithograph, titled Stare. The artist explains that the “eyes” are made by clamps that hold the zinc plate in place during the graining process, hence the title translated as “zinc, my love.”
