Ngaqala iqoqo lami le-boreal cishe eminyakeni emihlanu edlule lapho ngiqala ukuthuthela e-Yukon. Ngathuthela edolobhaneni elincane elinabantu abangu-400 futhi phakathi nezinyanga ezinde zasebusika ngafunda ukuthunga nokwenza eminye imisebenzi yezandla. Ngikhumbula ngizibuza ukuthi abanye abadwebi benzani ngezinsalela zoboya ngemva kokuqeda amaphrojekthi abo futhi bathola ukuthi zilahlwe ngaphandle ngoba izingcezu zazincane kakhulu ukuthi zingazisebenzisa. Kusukela lapho, nganquma ukuthi ngifuna ukwenza iqoqo elihlanganisa bonke uboya nensimbi obugaywe kabusha.

Ngaqala ukwenza ubucwebe ngentambo kababa yokudoba nezinto ezihlukahlukene zemvelo ngisemncane. Lapho ngineminyaka engu-14, ngaqala ukuthengisa ubucwebe bami emakethe yendawo yabalimi e-Antigonish, eNova Scotia. Ngemva kokuphothula esikoleni esiphakeme, ngaya eNyuvesi yase-NSCAD eHalifax, eNova Scotia futhi ngathola i-BFA ekuklameni ubucwebe kanye ne-metalsmithing.

Ngingathi ngiqondise inqwaba yamakhasimende aneminyaka engu-18-65 ubudala. Ngizama ukwenza izingcezu ezingathokozelwa yiwo wonke umuntu.

NgoSepthemba. 28 Ngangise-Iceland nomngane wami womshado manje. Ngikhumbula ngimfonela ngimtshela lezi zindaba nathi lapho sobabili sishaqekile. Kwakuyisikhathi esimatasa kakhulu nesijabulisayo. Ngenxa yokushintsha kwesikhathi ngisuka e-Iceland ngiye eCanada ngangenza inhlolokhono ngo-1 ekuseni.

Ibhizinisi lami likhule ngokushesha futhi manje senginamakhasimende aphesheya. Manje ngisebenza izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngeviki ngohlu lokulinda lwama-oda angokwezifiso, futhi kuye kwadingeka ukuthi ngiqashe abasebenzi abambalwa ukuze bangisize ngihambisane nama-oda. Ngijabule kakhulu ngokuthi ngikhethwe ukuthi abakwaDuchess bagqoke ubucwebe bami.
