KODI MUNAYAMBA KUSANGALALA NDI PEnti YA ENCAUSTIC NDI LITI MUNAPANGITSA BWANJI?

Ndinaphunzira ku MTSU. Ndinapita ku koleji kukakonza ndi kupanga mipando yangayanga, koma popeza kunalibe digiri yapadera ya zimenezo, ndinatenga makalasi a kujambula ndi kusema ziboliboli. Nthaŵi ina, m'kalasi yojambula zithunzi, tinali kusewera ndi luso la encaustic.

Pa nthawiyo ndinali kupanga zinthu zambiri ndi matabwa a khola. Tinapatsidwa ntchito imene tinayenera kuchitapo ka 50. Chotero ndinasema ziboliboli 50 za nkhokwe zamatabwa, kuzipaka phula, ndi kusamutsa zithunzi za maluŵa, akavalo, ndi zinthu zina zokhudzana ndi famu m’magazini. Panali chinachake chokhudza kumasulira kwa inki chomwe chinandigwira mtima.

Patapita nthawi, ndondomeko yanga yasintha. Kawirikawiri, akatswiri ojambula zithunzi amagwiritsa ntchito zigawo za sera za pigmented, decals, collages, ndi zina zosakanikirana, ndi utoto pamene sera ikutentha. Ndinatenga sitepe imodzi (kapena njira), kusamutsa, ndikusandulika kukhala bizinesi yanga. Sera imasungunuka ndikuyika pagulu. Ikazizira, ndimasalaza sera ndikusamutsa mtundu kuchokera pamasamba obwezerezedwanso amagazini. Sera ndi chomangira chomwe chimakonza inki ku gulu la plywood.

Chidutswa chilichonse ndi chapadera chifukwa pali mitundu yambiri. Ndimagula phula la 10 pa nthawi imodzi ndipo mtundu wa sera umasiyana kuchokera ku chikasu chowala mpaka bulauni mpaka bulauni. Izi zitha kukhudzanso mtundu wa inki. Ndinayesa kupeza ojambula ena pogwiritsa ntchito njirayi, koma sindinapeze aliyense. Chifukwa chake ndidapanga kanema kuti ndigawane ndondomeko yanga pa intaneti, ndikuyembekeza kuti ndipeza mayankho.

ZOPEZA ZANU ZAMBIRI ZIKUSONYEZA MAFAMU NDI ZITHUNZI ZAKUKUDZIWI: AKAvalo, nkhokwe, NG’OMBE NDI MALUWA. KODI ZINTHU IZI ZILI PAFUPI NDI NYUMBA KWANU?

Ndimadzifunsanso funso ili nthawi zonse. Ndikuganiza kuti zikugwirizana ndi kukhumba chinachake. Ndinkakonda kukhala kumidzi. Ndinakulira ku Paducah, Kentucky, kutangotsala maola ochepa chabe, ndipo kenako ndinasamukira ku Nashville. Banja la mkazi wanga lili ndi famu ku East Tennessee komwe timapitako pafupipafupi ndipo tikuyembekeza kusamukirako tsiku lina.

Chilichonse chomwe ndimajambula chimalumikizidwa ndi china chake m'moyo wanga, china chondizungulira. Nthawi zambiri ndimayenda ndi kamera ndipo ndimaima nthawi zonse kuti ndijambule. Tsopano ndili ndi zithunzi 30,000 zomwe zitha kukhala zapadera tsiku lina. Ndimatembenukira kwa iwo ngati ndikufuna kudzoza pazomwe ndikufuna kuchita.

TIUZENI ZA NTCHITO YANU YAKULENGA KAPENA STUDIO. KODI NDI CHIYANI CHIMAKUKHUDZANI KUPANGA?  

Ndiyenera kukonzekera ndisanayambe kugwira ntchito mu studio. Sindingathe kungolowa ndikuyamba ntchito. Ndibwera ndikukonza kaye ndikuwonetsetsa kuti zinthu zili pamalo awo. Zimandipangitsa kukhala womasuka. Kenako ndimayambitsa nyimbo zanga, zomwe zingakhale chilichonse kuyambira heavy metal mpaka jazz. Nthawi zina zimanditengera mphindi 30 mpaka ola kuti ndikonze chilichonse.

Mu studio yanga, ndimakonda kusunga zojambula zingapo zomaliza pafupi (ngati zingatheke). Pazojambula zanga zilizonse, ndimayesetsa kupita patsogolo pang'ono. Kotero mwina ndikuyesera kuphatikiza kwatsopano kwa mitundu kapena mawonekedwe. Kuwona zojambula zanga zaposachedwa limodzi ndi njira yabwino yofotokozera zomwe zidayenda bwino komanso zomwe ndikufuna kuyesa mosiyana nthawi ina.

KODI MULI NDI MALANGIZO KWA AKATSWIRI ENA?

Nthawi zambiri ndimapita kokajambula komanso kuchita nawo zochitika zaluso. Koma kulankhula ndi anthu akunja kwa zojambulajambula ndi kuloŵerera m’madera akumaloko kunandithandiza kwambiri. Ndine wokangalika m'magulu ena ammudzi, kalabu yosinthira madzulo ya Donelson-Hermitage ndi gulu lazamalonda lotchedwa Leadership Donelson-Hermitage.

Chifukwa cha izi, ndikudziwa anthu omwe nthawi zambiri satolera zojambula, koma omwe angagule ntchito yanga chifukwa amandidziwa ndipo amafuna kundithandizira. Kuphatikiza apo, ndinapatsidwa mwayi wojambulira pakhoma la Johnson's Furniture mural mutu wakuti "In Concert". Ndinapanga chojambula ndikujambula chithunzi changa pakhoma mu gridi. Tinali ndi anthu pafupifupi 200 omwe ankakongoletsa mbali ina ya gridi. Opezekapo anali aliyense kuyambira ojambula, aphunzitsi mpaka eni mabizinesi. Zinali chilimbikitso chachikulu pakundimvetsetsa monga wojambula.

Malumikizidwe onsewa ndi mwayi zinandipangitsa kukhala ndi chionetsero pa Nashville International Airport mu Seputembala chotchedwa Flying Solos. Ndidzakhala ndi makoma aakulu atatu amene ndidzapachikepo ntchito yanga. Zindibweretsera matani akuwonekera. Ichi chidzakhala chotsatira chachikulu chosinthira mu ntchito yanga yojambula.

Langizo langa ndikutenga nawo mbali pazinthu zambiri. Osayang'ana pa studio kwambiri kuti anthu aiwale kuti mulipo!

KODI KUSOWEKA KWAMBIRI KWA AKATSWIRI NDI CHIYANI?

Ofuna ojambula nthawi zambiri samazindikira kuti ndizovuta bwanji kuyimiridwa ndi malo owonetsera. Iyi ndi ntchito. Timachita zomwe timakonda, koma ikadali ntchito yokhala ndi udindo. Ntchito yanga panopa ikuwonetsedwa m'chipinda chosungiramo zinthu zakale ku Louisville chotchedwa Copper Moon Gallery. Ndi ulemu. Koma mukalowa, muyenera kutsata zomwe zalembedwazo. Sindingathe kungotumiza zithunzi zochepa ndikupita ku polojekiti ina. Amafunikira ntchito yatsopano pafupipafupi.

Malo ena amapempha zojambula zomwe akuganiza kuti zingagwirizane ndi makasitomala awo. Zimatengera mtundu wazithunzi zomwe muli. Ngati ndipanga china chake chomwe ndikuganiza kuti ndichabwino, nthawi zambiri chimakhala chofanana. Koma ndiye malo owonetsera zithunzi adzafuna zambiri zamtunduwu chifukwa makasitomala awo amazikonda. Osati mkhalidwe wabwino, koma nthawi zina umayenera kudzipereka.

Pamwamba pa maudindo onse opanga zojambulajambula, muyenera kuyang'ananso mwayi wina wosonyeza ntchito yanu, kusintha mawu a ojambula ndi mbiri yakale, ndipo mndandanda umapitirirabe. Kukhala wojambula ndikosavuta. Koma sindinagwirepo ntchito zolimba chonchi m’moyo wanga!
