Wayne's 'Visa' series of lithographs, based on a thumbprint, explore issues of surveillance, identity and originality. This final print in the series is dark and threatening, combining the thumbprint with abstract imagery that evokes barbed wire. A note from the artist reads 'Saturday is a holy day for Jews, and the wall, with its suggestion of barbed wire, brings concentration camps to mind'. In 'The Art of Everything' (2007), Robert Conway suggested that she 'renders her highly simplified fingerprint in black to increase the feeling of anonymity and peril'. Other versions of this lithograph have been exhibited in Pomona College, Claremont, California in 1978 and the Pasadena Museum of California Art in 2014. Copies are held in the Bibliothéque National de France, Paris, France; the Brodsky Center, Pomona College Museum of Art; and the Syracuse University Art Collection.
