Wayne lives twenty miles east of Corsicana in Samaria in the middle of nowhere - he’s a forever resident and dear friend of this program, and has helped welcome countless artists and writers who’ve traveled beyond state and country lines to come to Corsicana. He makes things from the everyday around his house: dry macaroni to plastic rotisserie chicken containers, spray foam to gold spray paint.
Artist Nancy Rebal and essayist David Searcy have helped found this residency program, and share a studio across the street from 100 West. In this episode, on a hot summer evening inside a cicada symphony, they describe their collaborations and creative community while sipping champagne on lawn chairs in front of Wayne’s house. Searcy wrote a piece about Wayne in the Oxford American accompanied with photos by resident alum Noel Camardo.
