Wind kinetic ebaziwe, njengoba negama lisho, iwukuzungezisa ngokuzenzakalelayo endaweni enomoya.Ngokuvamile zenziwe ngensimbi, njengensimbi engagqwali, insimbi, i-corten steel.Kunezimo eziningi zeizithombe zomoya wensimbi, futhi lapho bezungeza ngaphandle, bazodonsa ukunaka kwawo wonke umuntu.
Phakathi nomkhosi, ukukhanya kwethusi nokucwayiza ngezikhathi ezithile kwamafasitela anengilazi enemibala kudonsa amehlo kungakhathaliseki ukuthi umoya unjani.
"Kunzima ukuphuthelwa, ngoba konke okunyakazayo kuyabonakala: utshani be-pampas, iminyezane ekhalayo, uma ihamba, uvame ukubukeka kanjalo.Ngakho ngandlela thile, ngasebenzisa lokho,” kusho umculi ozinze e-Oklahoma City uDean Immel..
Minyaka yonke kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule, u-Immel ufake inqwaba yezithombe zakhe eziqoshiwe ze-Rite of Spring kinetic e-Sculpture Park edolobheni lase-Oklahoma, osekuphenduke umbono omangalisayo emcimbini wokudweba.
U-Kristen Thorkelson ongusihlalo we-Festival 2022 uthe: "Impela kwengeza ukuxaka emzwelweni wonkana wendawo yomkhosi futhi abantu babathanda ngempela."
Ngemuva kokukhanselwa ngo-2020 ngenxa yomqedazwe we-COVID-19 futhi okwenzeka ngoJuni 2021, i-Oklahoma City Arts Festival osekunesikhathi eside ibuyele emuva ezinsukwini nezikhathi zika-Ephreli.Ifestivali yamahhala izoqhubeka kuze kube ngu-April 24 ezindaweni eziseduze nase-Bicentennial Park phakathi kwe-Civic Center ne-City Hall.
"UDean ubelokhu ewumgogodla womkhosi amashumi eminyaka," kusho usihlalo okanye naye womkhosi ka-2022 u-Jon Semtner, "ukubona nje ... amakhulu ezingcezu zobuciko ezizungeza emoyeni, zikhetheke kakhulu."
Yize u-Immel esephenduke umkhangisi odume kakhulu kulo mkhosi eminyakeni engu-20 noma ngaphezulu edlule - wakhethwa njengeciko elifakiwe ngaphambi kokuba umcimbi wango-2020 ukhanselwe - ongowokuzalwa e-Oklahoma usazibona eyiciko elingalindelekile.
“Akekho esikoleni samabanga aphezulu noma ekolishi obengacabanga ukuthi ngizoba umdwebi - ngisho ngiseminyakeni yama-30, lapho ngenza i-architecture.“Dean Imel, mculi?Kumelwe ukuba uyadlala.mamatheka.
“Kodwa ubuciko obuningi budinga ukuzimisela ukuphuma ngiyozingcolisa… Kimina, awukho umehluko omkhulu phakathi kokuba i-plumber kanye nalokho engikwenzayo.Amakhono namathalente akhona, avele anyamalala.ngakolunye uhlangothi.”
U-Imel uphothule e-Harding High School e-Oklahoma futhi uneziqu ze-Engineering and Applied Science e-Yale University.
“Ngasebenza esitolo sokwakha esingcolile iminyaka engaphezu kuka-20 futhi ngakujabulela kakhulu,” esho.“Ngatshelwa kudala ukuthi abantu abaningi bashintsha imisebenzi kathathu… futhi ngacishe ngenza kanjalo.Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ngandlela thize, sengibuyele kwesejwayelekile.”
Omunye wezingane eziyisikhombisa, u-Immel waqanjwa ngoyise futhi wabelana ngamathalenta akhe kwezokwakha nobunjiniyela.Umdala u-Imel, owashona ngo-2019, wasebenza njengonjiniyela omkhulu wezokwakha eDolese, ehola inqwaba yamaphrojekthi okuhlanganisa nokwakhiwa kweCox Convention Center (manje eyiPrairie Surf Studios) kanye neBricktown Canal.
Ngaphambi kokuba ngumqophi, u-Imel osemncane waqala ibhizinisi elikhulu lokumpompa ukhonkolo e-Oklahoma City nomkhwe wakhe uRobert Maidt.
“Senze inqwaba yezakhiwo ezinde nezitezi zamabhuloho ozibona enkabeni ye-Oklahoma,” kusho u-Immel.“Kuyo yonke impilo yakho uthola amakhono ahlukene.Ngifunde ukushisela kanye ne-braze ngoba… into ebaluleke kakhulu kimina ukugcina okokusebenza endaweni yokusebenzela.”
Ngemva kokudayiswa kwebhizinisi lokwakha, u-Imel nomkakhe uMarie basebhizinisini lokuqasha, lapho elungisa khona izinto eziphukile futhi azigcine.
U-Immel waqala ukubona izithombe eziqoshiwe ze-kinetic lapho yena nomkakhe beseholidini nomunye umbhangqwana, bema embukisweni wobuciko eBeaver Creek, eColorado.Omunye umbhangqwana wanquma ukuthenga umfanekiso we-kinetic, kodwa u-Immel uthe ubaxoshile ngemuva kokubona inani lentengo.
“Lokho kwakungaphezu kweminyaka engu-20 edlule… into ababeyibhekile kwakungu-$3,000, ukuthunyelwa kwakungu-$600, futhi kwakusadingeka bawufake.Ngambuka futhi—amagama okugcina adumile— ngathi, “O Nkulunkulu wami, bafo, akukho khulu lezinto zamadola phakathi lapho.Ake ngikwenze omunye,” kukhumbula u-Immel.“Yebo, ngasese ngangifuna ukuzenzela enye, futhi kwakulula ukuzithethelela ngenza ezimbili esikhundleni sokukodwa.Kodwa bathi, “Kunjalo.”
Wenza ucwaningo oluncane, wasebenzisa isipiliyoni sakhe futhi wenza ikhophi elinganiselwe yesithombe esiqoshiwe esakhethwa umngane wakhe.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi banayo kwenye indawo.Kodwa akuwona owami, ukusho kanjalo.Ngisanda kubenzela okuthile, njengoba bebona futhi befuna.Ngibe nombono ngonkosikazi wami obelungiselela ukugubha iminyaka engu-50 azalwa,” kusho u-Immel.
Ngemva kokwenza isithombe esiqoshiwe sosuku lokuzalwa lomkakhe, u-Imel waqala ukuhlola futhi wenza izingcezu ezinamandla, azitshala egcekeni lakhe.Umakhelwane wakhe uSusie Nelson wasebenza kulo mkhosi iminyaka eminingi, futhi lapho ebona isithombe esiqoshiwe, wamkhuthaza ukuba afake isicelo.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi ngathatha ezine futhi yonke into engangiyithatha lapho cishe yayingamafidi amathathu ubude kunento ende kunazo zonke engangiyidayisa lapho njengamanje.Konke engangikwenza kwakukukhulu ngoba yilokho engangikubuka ku-Denver Arrived… Sasilapho isonto lonke futhi ngosuku lokugcina sathengisa eyodwa ngo-$450.Ngangiphatheke kabi.Wonke umuntu wangenqaba, ”kukhumbula u-Immel.
“Lapho ngiletha izinto ekhaya, umkami wathi: “Awukwazi nje ukwakha into encane ukuze ushintshe?Ingabe kufanele kube yinto enkulu ngaso sonke isikhathi?Ngimlalele.Bheka, umkhosi uyangimema.”sizobuya ngonyaka ozayo… sinciphisa izinto, sithengise amabili ngaphambi kombukiso.
Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, u-Immel waqala ukwengeza izingcezu zengilazi ukwengeza umbala emsebenzini wakhe onamandla.Wabuye walungisa isikhunta sethusi asenzela izithombe eziqoshiwe ezijikelezayo.
“Ngasebenzisa amadayimane, ngasebenzisa ama-oval.Ngesinye isikhathi ngaze ngaba nocezu olubizwa ngokuthi "amaqabunga awile" futhi zonke izinkomishi ezikulo zazimise okweqabunga - ngaliqopha ngesandla.Ngine-DNA ngoba ngaso sonke isikhathi uma ngenza into efana nalena, ihlale ingizwisa ubuhlungu futhi ingikhipha igazi … Kodwa ngithanda nje ukudala izinto ezinyakazayo futhi ngifuna abantu bazithande futhi bazisebenzise kakhulu,” u-Imai Er.kusho.
“Intengo ibalulekile kimina…ngoba uma sesikhulile, mina nabo bonke abafowethu, ngeke sibe nokuningi.Ngakho-ke ngizwela kakhulu ukuthi ngifuna ukuthola okuthile kumuntu.zingabekwa egcekeni ngaphandle kokuchitha imali eshisiwe.”
"Kunabanye abaculi abenza lolu hlobo lwezinto, kodwa uyaziqhenya kakhulu ngemininingwane emincane - ama-bearings, izinto zokwakha - ngakho-ke lokhu kuwukunqunywa kokugcina," kusho uSam Turner.“Ngiyazi ukuthi abazali bami banomkhiqizo osekuphele iminyaka engu-15 usekhaya.Isazungeza kakhulu.Unomkhiqizo omuhle kakhulu akhuluma ngawo nabantu abaningi.”
U-Immel wenze izithombe ezibaziwe zomoya ezingaba ngu-150 emkhosini walo nyaka, alinganisela ukuthi umthathe cishe izinyanga ezine onyakeni odlule.Yena nomndeni wakhe, okuhlanganisa indodakazi yakhe, umyeni wakhe kanye nomzukulu, bachithe impelasonto ngaphambi komcimbi besebenza emqondweni wakhe.
“Lokhu kube yinto engizilibazisa kakhulu ngayo kimina….Ikhulile njengoba iminyaka ihamba, futhi isihogo, ngineminyaka engu-73 ubudala futhi umkami uneminyaka engu-70 ubudala.Iminyaka yethu Abantu bayagijima, kodwa ngizokutshela, uma ubheka sonke sazinza lapho, kuwumsebenzi.Sikwenza kube mnandi,” kusho u-Immel.
“Sikubona njengomsebenzi womndeni… sikwenza njalo entwasahlobo, cishe kuwumcimbi weminyaka ezayo.”
