Wayne says on his professional practice:⁠
“Printmaking makes me be still and it gives me a grounding that comes from reflecting on my relational place in the world; I draw myself into it.⁠
I draw and cut my relief blocks in lino. Relief block making has been a constant through my adult life.”⁠
⁠
Cut It Out will be on show at Petrie Terrace Gallery until Sunday, 25th of May, 2025.⁠
