While at BCAC Dewayne made an eight foot tall metal sculpture, the “Lonely Matador” and a thirty foot sculpture, “Vapor Trail Daydream”. They both reside on the Buffalo Creek Art Center Sculpture park.
“My residency at BCAC came at a perfect time for me. I had been out of my studio for about nine months recovering from surgery, and the time I spent out there revitalized me and got me back into the game. Thanks to Steve and Bill for the support and opportunity.”
