Geometry of Desire : Le Trecarré Galerie, Pointe DeL'Eglise, NS, 2010 
and Chapel Gallery, ArtsPlace (ARC), Annapolis Royal, NS, 2010

Wayne's work affects us on a macroscopic level. It is gravitational in pull; parabolic in effect. "No delicate micrometer here". He uses structural elements such as tension, balance, and depth to draw us into a structure less center. This is the geometry of Derridean desire. A flash of Newtonian insight into the gravitational pull that ensures: as the apple falls so do we. It is through this universal search for center we are figured out.

"Swimming for a swimmer is not mere survival but the appropriate response to water".  In his artist statement, Wayne tells us his work is about watery places. He asks us to fall into his work in a "search for home".  Home represents origin as well as end in this context. The decentered center. Using light to suspend us in the parabolic contrast of projection and convergence, Wayne invites us to dwell in the interval. We emerge from the breach linking point source to focus. Dimension may be used to "imply direction, imply measurement, imply the more and the less". But in Wayne's work, dimension is the meditative space between observer and observed.  MARCELLE BELLIVEAU,  Curator and Essay
