June Wayne's interest in tapestry did not develop from a need to revive or perpetuate classical procedures, nor did it derive from an exploratory involvement with textural materials or weaving techniques. She came to tapestry as the most suitable means to her visual metaphors while employing sensual material to invoke an intellectual sensibility. The weaving of tapestry is intensive, rhythmical, and slow. In these characteristics, Wayne found a direct and appropriate way by which she could transmit to the viewer a sense of time passing that is internal to the process. She can lead the viewer beyond real time to read certain works at a quickened pace, or to perceive others in extended cosmic time.
