Ingobo yomlando yobuciko Umculi Ofakiwe: Randy L. Purcell

Hlangana no-Randy L. Purcell. Udabuka edolobhaneni elincane eKentucky, usebenze ezindaweni eziningi: umakhi, itilosi elihamba ngesikebhe, kanye nokudayisa.-ngisho nokunothisa i-uranium. Lapho eneminyaka engu-37 ubudala, wanquma ukuphishekela uthando lwakhe futhi abuyele esikoleni ukuze athole i-Bachelor of Arts degree e-Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).

Manje u-Randy ulungiselela umbukiso ohamba yedwa ka-September othi "Flying Planes" e-Nashville International Airport futhi uhlanganisa ama-oda avela kumagalari ambalwa. Sikhulume naye ngendlela yakhe eyingqayizivele ye-encaustics nokuthi uthole kanjani impumelelo ekusebenzeni ngaphandle kwendawo yobuciko bendabuko.

WAQALA NINI UKUTHANDA UMPENDI WE-ENCAUSTIC FUTHI WENZA KANJANI UKUBA OWAKHO?

Ngifunde eMTSU. Ngaya ekolishi ukuze ngiyoklama futhi ngizakhele ifenisha yami, kodwa njengoba zazingekho iziqu ezikhethekile zalokho, ngathatha amakilasi okudweba nokubaza. Ngesinye isikhathi, ekilasini lokudweba, sasidlala nge-encaustic.

Ngaleso sikhathi ngangenza izinto eziningi ngengodo. Sanikezwa umsebenzi lapho kwakufanele senze okuthile izikhathi ezingu-50. Ngakho ngaqopha imifanekiso emincane engu-50 yezingodo ngokhuni, ngiyi-wax, futhi ngidlulisela izithombe zezimbali, amahhashi, nezinye izinto ezihlobene nepulazi komagazini. Kukhona okuthile mayelana nokuhunyushwa kukayinki okwathatha iso lami.

Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, inqubo yami ishintshile. Ngokuvamile, abaculi be-encaustic basebenzisa izendlalelo ze-wax enemibala, ama-decals, amakholaji, nezinye imidiya exubile, nopende ngenkathi i-wax ishisa. Ngithathe isinyathelo esisodwa (noma isu), ukudluliswa, futhi ngakushintsha kwaba ibhizinisi lami. I-wax iyancibilika futhi ifakwe kuphaneli. Ngemva kokuba selipholile, ngishelela ingcina bese ngidlulisela umbala emakhasini kamagazini agaywe kabusha. Ingcina yezinyosi imane iyisibopho esilungisa uyinki kuphaneli ye-plywood.

Isiqephu ngasinye sihlukile ngoba kunezinhlobonhlobo eziningi. Ngithenga amakhilogremu angu-10 we-wax ngesikhathi futhi umbala we-wax uyahlukahluka kusuka ophuzi okhanyayo kuya kunsundu ngokukhanyayo ukuya kunsundu omnyama. Lokhu kungase futhi kuthinte umbala uyinki. Ngizamile ukuthola abanye abaculi abasebenzisa le nqubo, kodwa angibatholanga. Ngakho ngidale ividiyo ukuze ngabelane ngenqubo yami ku-inthanethi, ngethemba lokuthola impendulo.

EMININGI YEMIPENDE YAKHO IKHOMBISA AMAFRIMI KANYE NEZIMTHOMBE ZASEMAPHANDLENI: AMAHASHI, izibaya, IZINKOMO NEZIMBALI. INGABE LEZI IZINTO EZIDUZE NOMUZI WAKHO?

Ngiphinde ngizibuze lo mbuzo njalo. Ngicabanga ukuthi ihlobene nokulangazelela okuthile. Ngangikuthanda ukuhlala emaphandleni. Ngakhulela ePaducah, eKentucky, amahora ambalwa nje ukusuka lapho, futhi kamuva ngathuthela eNashville. Umndeni womkami unepulazi eMpumalanga Tennessee esilivakashela njalo futhi sithemba ukuthuthela khona ngolunye usuku.

Yonke into engiyidwebayo ixhunywe kokuthile empilweni yami, okuthile okungizungezile. Ngivame ukuphatha ikhamera futhi ngihlale ngima ukuze ngithathe isithombe. Nginezithombe ezingu-30,000 okwamanje okungenzeka noma kungabi okuthile okukhethekile ngolunye usuku. Ngiphendukela kubo uma ngidinga ugqozi ngalokho engifuna ukukwenza ngokulandelayo.

SITSHELA NGENKQUBO YAKHO YOKUCALA NOMA ISITUDIO. YINI EKUKHUTHAZA UKUBA UDALE?  

Kumele ngizilungiselele ngaphambi kokuthi ngiqale ukusebenza estudiyo. Angikwazi ukuvele ngingene ngingene emsebenzini. Ngizofika ngilungise kuqala futhi ngenze isiqiniseko sokuthi izinto zisendaweni yazo. Kungenza ngizizwe ngikhululeke kakhudlwana. Ngibe sengithula umculo wami, ongaba noma yini kusukela ku-heavy metal kuya kwi-jazz. Ngezinye izikhathi kungithatha imizuzu engu-30 kuya ehoreni ukulungisa yonke into.

Esitudiyo sami, ngincamela ukugcina imidwebo embalwa yokugcina eduze (uma kungenzeka). Emdwebeni wami ngamunye, ngizama ukuqhubekela phambili kancane. Ngakho-ke mhlawumbe ngizama inhlanganisela entsha yemibala noma ukuthungwa. Ukubona imidwebo yami yakamuva ihambisana kuyindlela enhle yempendulo kulokho okusebenze kahle nalokho engifuna ukuzama ngokuhlukile ngokuzayo.

INGABE UNASO ABANYE ABACULI ABANGAPHEZULU?

Ngihlale ngihambela izindawo zobuciko futhi ngihlanganyele emicimbini yobuciko. Kodwa ukukhuluma nabantu abangaphandle kwendawo yobuciko nokuhlanganyela emphakathini wendawo kwangisiza kakhulu. Ngisebenza emaqenjini athile omphakathi, iklabhu yokushintshisana yakusihlwa yase-Donelson-Hermitage kanye neqembu lebhizinisi elibizwa nge-Leadership Donelson-Hermitage.

Ngenxa yalokhu, ngiyazi abantu abangajwayele ukuqoqa ubuciko, kodwa abangathenga umsebenzi wami ngoba bayangazi futhi bafuna ukungeseka. Ngaphezu kwalokho, nganikezwa ithuba lokudweba umdwebo odongeni onesihloko esithi "In Concert" odongeni lweFenisha kaJohnson eDonelson. Ngiqhamuke nesakhiwo ngase ngidweba umdwebo wami obondeni ngegridi. Sibe namalungu omphakathi angaba ngu-200 afaka imibala engxenyeni yegridi. Ababekhona kubalwa wonke umuntu kusukela kumaciko, othisha kuya kosomabhizinisi. Kube ngumfutho omkhulu ekungiqondeni njengeciko.

Konke lokhu kuxhumana namathuba kuholele ekutheni ngibe nombukiso eNashville International Airport ngoSepthemba obizwa nge-Flying Solos. Ngizoba nezindonga ezintathu ezinkulu engizolenga kuzo umsebenzi wami. Izongilethela amathani okuveza. Lokhu kuzoba yinguquko enkulu elandelayo emsebenzini wami wobuciko.

Iseluleko sami ukuthi sithatheke ngezinto eziningi. Ungagxili kakhulu estudio abantu bakhohlwe ukuthi ukhona!

IYIPHI IPHUTHA ELIJWAYELEKILE NGOMCULI OWUNGQONGQOSHE?

Abaculi abasafufusa bavamise ukungazi ukuthi kuwumsebenzi muni ukumelwa yigalari. Umsebenzi lo. Senza esikuthandayo, kodwa kusengumsebenzi onomthwalo wemfanelo. Umsebenzi wami njengamanje uvezwa kugalari endaweni yase-Louisville ebizwa ngokuthi i-Copper Moon Gallery. Kuwudumo. Kodwa uma usungenile, kufanele uhambisane ne-inventory. Angikwazi nje ukuthumela izithombe ezimbalwa bese ngidlulela kuphrojekthi elandelayo. Badinga umsebenzi omusha njalo.

Amanye amagalari acela imidwebo ecabanga ukuthi izofanela amaklayenti awo kangcono. Kuya ohlotsheni lwegalari okuyo. Uma ngidala into engicabanga ukuthi ilungile, ngokuvamile iyafana. Kodwa-ke igalari izofuna okwengeziwe kwalolu hlobo ngoba amakhasimende abo ayayithanda. Akusona isimo esikahle, kodwa ngezinye izikhathi kufanele udele okuthile.

Phezu kwayo yonke imithwalo yemfanelo yokwakha ubuciko, kufanele futhi ubheke amanye amathuba okubonisa umsebenzi wakho, ubuyekeze isitatimende seciko kanye ne-biography, futhi uhlu luqhubeka njalo. Ukuba yiciko kulula. Kodwa angikaze ngisebenze kanzima kangaka ekuphileni kwami!
