Umoya oqingqiweyo wekinetic, njengoko igama lisitsho, kukujikeleza ngokuzenzekelayo kwindawo enomoya.Ngokuqhelekileyo zenziwe ngetsimbi, njengensimbi engenasici, isinyithi, i-corten steel.Zininzi iimilo zeimifanekiso eqingqiweyo yomoya wesinyithi, yaye xa bejikeleza ngaphandle, baya kutsala ingqalelo yomntu wonke.
Ebudeni balo mbhiyozo, ukumenyezela kobhedu nokubethwa ngumoya ngamathub’ athile kweefestile ezinemibala eqaqambileyo kutsalela ingqalelo kungakhathaliseki ukuba umoya unjani na.
"Kunzima ukuphosakela, kuba yonke into ehambayo ibonakala: ingca ye-pampas, i-willows elila, ukuba iyashukuma, uvame ukubonakala unjalo.Ke, ngandlela thile, ndisebenzise elo thuba, ”utshilo umzobi ose-Oklahoma City uDean Immel..
Nyaka ngamnye kule minyaka ingamashumi amabini idlulileyo, u-Immel ufake inqwaba yemifanekiso eqingqiweyo yeRite of Spring kinetic eSculpture Park kumbindi wedolophu yase-Oklahoma, ethe yaba ngumbono omangalisayo kumnyhadala wokupeyinta.
Usihlalo obambene noMnyhadala ka-2022 uKristen Thorkelson uthe: "Iyongeza kwi-quirkiness kwimvakalelo epheleleyo yendawo yomnyhadala kwaye abantu babathanda ngokwenene."
Emva kokurhoxiswa ngo-2020 ngenxa yobhubhani we-COVID-19 kwaye yenzeka ngoJuni ka-2021, uMnyhadala wezobuGcisa weSixeko sase-Oklahoma ubuyele kwimihla kunye namaxesha ka-Epreli.Umnyhadala wasimahla uya kuqhubeka kude kube yi-24 ka-Epreli kwaye ujikeleze iPaki yeBicentennial phakathi kweZiko leCivic kunye neHolo yeSixeko.
“IDean ibiyeyona nto iphambili kumnyhadala amashumi eminyaka,” utshilo usihlalo womnyhadala ka-2022 uJon Semtner, “ukubona nje…
Nangona u-Immel ebengoyena mboniso udumileyo kulo mnyhadala kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo okanye kunjalo - wakhethwa njengegcisa elibonakalayo ngaphambi kokuba umsitho ka-2020 urhoxiswe - inzalelwane yase-Oklahoma isazibona njengegcisa elingalindelekanga.
“Akukho mntu kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo okanye ekholejini owayenokucinga ukuba ndiza kuba ligcisa – nakwiminyaka yam ye-30, xa ndandisenza iarchitecture."Dean Imel, igcisa?Kumele ukuba uyaqhula.uncumo.
“Kodwa ubugcisa obuninzi bufuna ukukulungela ukuya phaya phandle uyokuzingcolisa… Kum, akukho mahluko ungako phakathi kokuba ngumtywini wemibhobho yamanzi kunye nento endiyenzayo.Izakhono kunye neetalente zikhona, zivele zanyamalala.kwelinye icala.”
U-Imel uphumelele kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo sase-Harding e-Oklahoma kwaye unesidanga sobuNjineli kunye neSayensi eSetyenzisiweyo kwiYunivesithi yaseYale.
“Ndisebenze kwivenkile yokwakha emdaka ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-20 kwaye ndonwabele kakhulu,” utshilo.“Ndaxelelwa kwakudala ukuba uninzi lwabantu lutshintsha imisebenzi kathathu… kwaye ndiphantse ndayenza.Ke ndicinga ngenye indlela, ndibuyele esiqhelweni.”
Omnye wabantwana abasixhenxe, u-Immel wathiywa ngoyise kwaye wabelana ngeetalente zakhe kwezokwakha kunye nobunjineli.Umdala u-Imel, owasweleka ngo-2019, wasebenza njengenjineli ephezulu yaseDolese, ekhokela inani leeprojekthi ezibandakanya ukwakhiwa kweZiko leNkomfa laseCox (ngoku eyiPrairie Surf Studios) kunye neBricktown Canal.
Ngaphambi kokuba abe ngumkroli, u-Imel oselula waqala ishishini elikhulu lokumpompa ikhonkrithi kwisiXeko sase-Oklahoma kunye nomkhwe wakhe uRobert Maidt.
“Senze uninzi lwezakhiwo ezinde kunye needekhi zebhulorho ozibona kumbindi we-Oklahoma,” utshilo u-Immel.“Kubo bonke ubomi bakho ufumana izakhono ezahlukeneyo.Ndifunde ukuwelda kunye nebraze kuba ... eyona nto ibalulekileyo kum kukugcina izixhobo kwindawo yokusebenzela. "
Emva kokuthengiswa kweshishini lokwakha, u-Imel kunye nomfazi wakhe uMarie bakwishishini lokurenta, apho alungisa izinto ezaphukileyo kwaye azigcine.
U-Immel waqala ukubona umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wekinetic xa yena nenkosikazi yakhe babesekhefini nesinye isibini, bemisa kumboniso wobugcisa eBeaver Creek, eColorado.Esinye isibini sagqiba ekubeni sithenge umfanekiso oqingqiweyo wekinetic, kodwa u-Immel wathi wabanqanda emva kokubona ixabiso lexabiso.
“Oko kwakungaphezu kweminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo…Ndamjonga nda—amagama adumileyo okugqibela—ndathi, “Owu Thixo wam, bafo, akukho khulu lezinto zeedola apho.Makhe ndikwenze ube mnye,” ukhumbula oko u-Immel.“Kakade, ngokufihlakeleyo ndandifuna ukuzenzela enye, kwaye kwakulula ukuzithethelela ngokwenza ezimbini endaweni yesinye.Kodwa bathi, “Ngokuqinisekileyo.”
Wenza uphando oluncinci, wasebenzisa amava akhe kwaye wenza ikopi eqikelelweyo yomfanekiso oqingqiweyo owakhethwa ngumhlobo wakhe.
“Ndicinga ukuba banayo kwenye indawo.Kodwa ke ayingowam, xa sithetha.Ndibenzele nje into, njengoko babebona kwaye beyifuna.Bendinombono ngenkosikazi yam, ebilungiselela ukubhiyozela iminyaka yakhe engamashumi amahlanu,” utshilo u-Immel.
Emva kokwenza umfanekiso oqingqiweyo womhla wokuzalwa womfazi wakhe, u-Imel waqala ukulinga kunye nokwenza iziqwenga ezinamandla ngakumbi, awazityala kwigadi yakhe engasemva.Ummelwane wakhe uSusie Nelson wasebenza kulo mnyhadala kangangeminyaka emininzi, yaye xa wawubonayo lo mfanekiso uqingqiweyo, wamkhuthaza ukuba afake isicelo.
"Ndicinga ukuba ndithathe ezine kwaye yonke into endiyithathe apho yayiziimitha ezi-3 ubude kuneyona nto inde kakhulu endiyithengisayo apho ngoku.Yonke into endandiyenza yayinkulu kuba yayiyiloo nto endandiyijongile eDenver Fikile… Sasilapho iveki yonke kwaye kusuku lokugqibela sathengisa enye nge-$450.Ndandikhathazeke kakhulu.Wonke umntu wakha wandala, ”ukhumbula uImmel.
“Xa ndazisa izinto ekhaya, umfazi wam wathi: “Awukwazi nje ukwakha into encinane ukuze utshintshe?Ngaba isoloko ifuna ukuba yinto enkulu?Ndamamela kuye.Khangela, umthendeleko uyandimema.siza kubuya kulo nyaka uzayo… sicutha izinto, sithengise ezimbini phambi komboniso.
Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, u-Immel waqala ukongeza iishadi zeglasi ukongeza umbala kumsebenzi wakhe onamandla.Kwakhona walungisa imixokelelwane yobhedu awayenzela imifanekiso eqingqiweyo ejikelezayo.
“Ndandisebenzisa iidayimani, ndisebenzisa ii-ovals.Ngesinye isikhathi ndide ndibe neqhekeza elibizwa ngokuthi "amagqabi awileyo" kwaye zonke iikomityi ezikuyo zazifana neqabunga - ndaliqingqa ngesandla.Ndine-DNA kuba ngalo lonke ixesha ndisenza into enje, isoloko indenzakalisa kwaye indopha ... Kodwa ndiyathanda ukwenza izinto ezihambayo kwaye ndifuna abantu bazithande kwaye bazisebenzise kangangoko,” u-Imai Er.watsho.
“Ixabiso libalulekile kum…kuba xa sikhula, mna nabo bonke abantakwethu, asiyi kuba nanto ingako.Ngoko ke ndivakalelwa kakhulu kukuba ndifuna ukufumana into emntwini.inokubekwa emva kwendlu ngaphandle kokuchitha intywenka yemali.”
"Kukho amanye amagcisa enza olu hlobo lwezinto, kodwa uyazingca kakhulu kwiinkcukacha ezincinci - iibheringi, izinto eziphathekayo - ngoko oku kunqunyulwa kokugqibela," kusho uSam Turner.Ndiyazi ukuba abazali bam banemveliso esele ikwikhaya lethu iminyaka engaphezu kwe-15.Isajikeleza kakhulu.Unemveliso entle kakhulu athetha ngayo nabantu abaninzi. ”
U-Immel wenze imikrolo emalunga ne-150 yomoya kumnyhadala walo nyaka, aqikelela ukuba umthathe malunga neenyanga ezine kulo nyaka uphelileyo.Yena nosapho lwakhe, kuquka intombi yakhe, umyeni wakhe kunye nomzukulwana wakhe, bachithe impelaveki ngaphambi komsitho besebenza kumzobo wakhe.
“Oku ibiyinto entle kakhulu kum….Ikhulile ngokuhamba kweminyaka, kwaye isihogo, ndineminyaka engama-73 kwaye umfazi wam uneminyaka engama-70 ubudala.Iminyaka yethu Abantu bayadlala, kodwa ndiya kukuxelela, ukuba ujonga sonke sahlala apho, ngumsebenzi.Siyenza ibemnandi,” utshilo u-Immel.
“Siyibona njengeprojekthi yosapho… siyenza qho entlakohlaza, iphantse ibe ngumsitho weminyaka ezayo.”
