Handizive kana icho chaive chikonzero chezvandiri kuita, asi handifi ndakakanganwa manzwiro akaitika mandiri sezvataifamba nemumigwagwa yemurenje ine mesa yepepuru nechekure, senge rekutanga regoridhe. chezuva. akatanga kupinda nharaunda yedu. Mufananidzo wacho wakasimba zvekuti wakagara neni kwemakumi emakore.

Pandakatanga kuratidza unyanzvi hwangu, ndaidhirowa mifananidzo yevanhu. Ndaifunga kuti ndiri kuita zvinhu zvikuru, asi vanhu vezviratidziro zvemifananidzo vakati, "Ko ndingadei munhu wandisingazivi akarembera pamadziro angu?" Nekukakavara kwandakaita, handina kukwanisa kutengesa mufananidzo wacho. Ndinorangarira - kuburikidza nemhungu yemakumi emakore - kuti ndaive muimba yangu yekutandarira ndichichema mamiriro ezvinhu anosiririsa uye ndakatarisa mufananidzo wemukadzi wandakawana kubva kuimba yekutandarira. Ndakanga ndiri kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero, saka ndakasarudza kuwedzera zvishoma kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kumufananidzo. Ndakaisa chinyoreso mubvudzi rake ndokudzosera mufananidzo kugalari. Kutengeswa muvhiki. Chidzidzo kubva pachiitiko ichi ndechekuti zviri pachena - pandakangowedzera chimwe chinhu senge maIndia ekuAmerica - mufananidzo wakava unodiwa. Ndakaona kuti vanhu vanouya kuTucson, vangave kushanyira kana kugara, vane zvakawanda zvekuita neAmerican Indian tsika.

3. CHII CHINAKASIYANA PAMUSORO PAKO STUDIO KANA KUITA MAITIRO EKUGARA?

Zvinowanzotaurwa kuti mutsara unonyanya kukosha mukudhirowa ndiwo mutsara wekutanga, nokuti zvimwe zvose zvakabatana nazvo. Ndinoshandisa kamuti kadiki kemarasha emuzambiringa. Muzambiringa haushanduki kuita madota, asi unoshanduka kuita danda remarasha kana wapiswa, kana pasina oxygen yakakwana yekupisa zvachose. Ndakashandisa zvimwe zvinhu asi ndakatanga kushandisa iyi kukoreji. Ini ndinoishandisa kugadzira mutsara wekutanga uye kusvika kumagumo ekudhirowa. Kana mumwe munhu akauya usiku akandibira marasha angu pamuzambiringa, handizokwanisi kupenda mumwe mufananidzo. Ichi ndicho chishandiso chandinoziva zvakanyanya. Paunoshandisa chimwe chinhu kwemakumi emakore, chinova kuwedzera iwe pachako.

Kana zvinhu zvachinja, senge kana vagadziri vecanvas vachichinja vatengesi vedonje, kana pavanotambanudza canvas zvakasiyana kana kushandisa primer nyowani, zvinonditorera mavhiki kuti ndijaire uye dzimwe nguva handikwanise. Dzimwe nguva ndinofanira kuiisa jecha pasi kana kuwedzera mamwe matanda epurasita. Kwemakore ndashandisa bhurasho rimwechete, nhamba uye maitiro kusaina zita rangu pamifananidzo yangu. Kwaiva kutambanudza ruoko rwangu. Pandakatanga kupenda zvakare mushure mekurega basa, ndakange ndisisawane mabhurashi iwayo zvakare. Ndave nemakore maviri ndichipenda uye zvichiri kundinetsa kunyora zita rangu nekuti bhurasho harichafanani. Zvinondipengesa. Ini zvakare ndinodhirowa - kushandisa bhurasho rakaoma rinosiya zvishoma e-ruvara mumipata yekuruka. Uku kukwesha chaiko, uye paunokwesha nebhurasho, unorasa zvazvinoreva. Anopera simba. Mabhurashi andinoda zvakanyanya akandinakira. Dai ndaifanira kutanga nemabhurashi akanongedzwa, handaizokwanisa kuita zvandinoita.

4. UNOSHANDIRA VATENGI VARI VOSE VARI KUGARA UYE PUBLIC ART. ZVAKABATSIRA SEI BASA RAKO UYE WAKAPINDA SEI MUPUBLIC ART?
