Ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yokudweba okuvamile, uStephen Edgar Bradbury wabonakala, kulesi sigaba sokuphila kwakhe, waba ngomunye ngesiyalo sakhe sobuciko asikhethile. Ubuciko bakhe, ngokuyinhloko imidwebo ye-graphite ku-Oepo (iphepha elingenazinkuni elivela eJapane elenziwe nge-polypropylene), buye bathola ukuqashelwa kabanzi emazweni aseduze nakude. Umbukiso womuntu siqu wemisebenzi yakhe uzobanjelwa eCentre for Spiritual Care kuze kube nguJanuwari 28.
U-Bradbury uthe ukujabulele ukusebenza ngaphandle futhi wayehlale ephethe ithuluzi lokubhala nencwajana yokuhamba ngezinyawo nokuvakasha.
”Amakhamera mahle, kodwa awathathi imininingwane eminingi ngendlela iso lomuntu elingakwazi ngayo. Umsebenzi omningi engiwenzayo imidwebo yemizuzu engama-30-40 eyenziwa ekuhambeni kwami kwansuku zonke noma ohambweni lwangaphandle. Ngiyahamba, ngibone izinto… “Yilapho ngiqala khona ukudweba. Ngangidweba cishe zonke izinsuku futhi ngihamba amakhilomitha amathathu kuya kwayisithupha. Njengomculi, udinga ukuzijwayeza isikali sakho nsuku zonke. Udinga ukudweba nsuku zonke ukuze uqhubeke,” kuchaza uBradbury.
I-sketchbook ngokwayo iyinto emangalisayo ukubamba ngesandla sakho. Manje nginezincwadi zokudweba ezingaba ngu-20. Ngeke ngisuse umdwebo ngaphandle uma kukhona ofuna ukuwuthenga. Uma nginakekela ubuningi, uNkulunkulu uzonakekela ikhwalithi. “
Ukhulela eSouth Florida, uBradbury waya kafushane eCooper Union College eNew York City ngeminyaka yawo-1970. Wafunda i-calligraphy yesiShayina kanye nokudweba eTaiwan ngawo-1980, wabe eseqala umsebenzi wokuba umhumushi wezincwadi futhi wasebenza njengoprofesa wezincwadi iminyaka engaba ngu-20.
Ngo-2015, uBradbury wanquma ukuzinikela isikhathi esigcwele kwezobuciko, ngakho wawuyeka umsebenzi wakhe wabuyela eFlorida. Wazinza eFort White, eFlorida, lapho ugeleza khona uMfula i-Ichetucknee, awubiza ngokuthi “omunye wemifula yasentwasahlobo ende kunazo zonke emhlabeni futhi ungenye yezingxenye ezinhle kakhulu zalesi sifunda esihle,” futhi eminyakeni embalwa kamuva wathuthela eMelrose.
Yize uBradbury eke wasebenza kweminye imidiya, lapho ebuyela emhlabeni wezobuciko wakhangwa i-graphite kanye “nobumnyama obucebile nokubonakala kwayo okusiliva okungikhumbuza amafilimu amnyama nobusuku obukhanyiswe yinyanga.”
“Ngangingakwazi ukusebenzisa umbala,” kusho uBradbury, wengeza ngokuthi nakuba ayependa ngama-pastel, wayengenalo ulwazi olwanele ngombala ukuze apende emafutheni.
“Engangazi ukuthi kwenziwa kanjani kwakuwukudweba, ngakho ngathuthukisa amasu amasha futhi ngaguqula ubuthakathaka bami baba amandla,” kusho uBradbury. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukusetshenziswa kwe-watercolor graphite, igraphite encibilika emanzini okuthi uma ixutshwe namanzi ibe njengoyinki.
Izingcezu zikaBradbury ezimnyama nezimhlophe ziyagqama, ikakhulukazi uma ziboniswa eduze kwezinye izinto, ngenxa yalokho akubiza ngokuthi “isimiso sokushoda,” echaza ukuthi awukho ukuncintisana okuningi kule ndlela engavamile.
“Abantu abaningi bacabanga ngemidwebo yami ye-graphite njengemidwebo noma izithombe. Ngibonakala nginezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nombono ohlukile,” kusho uBradbury.
Usebenzisa amabhulashi aseShayina nezinto zikanokusho ezifana nezikhonkwane, amanabukeni, amabhola kakotini, izipontshi zopende, amatshe, njll. ukuze enze izinto ezenziwe ngephepha le-Yupo lokwenziwa, alikhethayo kunephepha elivamile lombala wamanzi.
“Uma ubeka okuthile kuyo, idala ukuthungwa. Kunzima ukukuphatha, kodwa kungaveza imiphumela emangalisayo. Ayigobi uma imanzi futhi inenzuzo eyengeziwe ongayesula bese uqala kabusha,” kusho uBra DeBerry. “EYupo, kufana nengozi ejabulisayo.
UBradbury uthe ipensela lihlala liyithuluzi elikhethwa ngabaculi abaningi be-graphite. Umthofu omnyama wepensela “lomthofu” ovamile awuwona nhlobo umthofu, kodwa uyi-graphite, uhlobo lwekhabhoni olwaluyivelakancane kangangokuthi eBrithani wawuwukuphela komthombo omuhle emakhulwini eminyaka, futhi abavukuzi babehlaselwa njalo ngenxa yawo. abawona “umthofu”. Ungayishushumbisi uyikhiphe.
Ngaphandle kwamapensela e-graphite, uthi, “kunezinhlobo eziningi zamathuluzi e-graphite, njenge-graphite powder, i-graphite rod ne-graphite putty, lena yakamuva engiyisebenzisela ukwakha imibala egqamile, emnyama.”
UBradbury uphinde wasebenzisa irabha elingcolile, isikelo, ama-cuticle pushers, amarula, onxantathu nensimbi egobile ukuze akhe amajika, ukusetshenziswa kwawo athi kwenze omunye wabafundi bakhe ukuthi, “Kuyiqhinga nje.” Omunye umfundi wabuza, “Kungani nje ungasebenzisi ikhamera?”
“Amafu yinto yokuqala engathandana nayo ngemuva kukamama wami – kudala ngaphambi kwamantombazane. Kuyisicaba lapha namafu alokhu eshintsha njalo. Kufanele usheshe kakhulu, zinyakaza ngokushesha okukhulu. Zinezimo ezinhle. . Kwakujabulisa kakhulu ukubabuka. Kulezi zindawo zotshani kwakuyimina ngedwa, kwakungekho muntu. Bekunokuthula futhi kukuhle kakhulu.”
Kusukela ngo-2017, umsebenzi kaBradbury ukhonjiswe emibukisweni eminingi eyedwa neyeqembu eTexas, Illinois, Arizona, Georgia, Colorado, Washington, naseNew Jersey. Uthole imiklomelo emibili ye-Best of Show evela ku-Gainesville Fine Arts Society, indawo yokuqala emibukisweni e-Palatka, eFlorida nase-Springfield, e-Indiana, kanye ne-Excellence Award e-Asheville, North Carolina. Ngokwengeziwe, uBradbury uthole indondo ye-PEN ka-2021 yezinkondlo ezihunyushiwe. yencwadi ka-Amang yembongi nomenzi wefilimu waseTaiwan, Ikhuliswe yizimpisi: Izinkondlo Nezingxoxo.
