ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Ithaka", mixed media on plywood. Based on a poem by Alexandrian Greek poet C.P. Cavafy. The Greek text on the raised rim translates to, on the left: "...she has nothing more to give you" and on the right: "Ithaka". The poem refers to the voyage of Odysseus, struggling to return to his home after the Trojan War. The last few lines of the poem read, in English: "Ithaka gave you a splendid journey. Without her you would not have set out. She has nothing more to give you. "And if you find her poor, Ithaka hasn't deceived you. So wise you have become, of such experience, that already you'll have understood what these Ithakas mean. "

David Holcomb
United States
Born in Montgomery, Alabama, and raised in the rural Appalachian foothills of the northeastern part of the state, my childhood was surrounded by the natural world, the rigid social and cultural traditions of the deep South, the distant rumblings of 1960's social changes, and the panoramas of human existence revealed to me through reading, music and art. Most of my adult life has been spent working as a graphic designer in Birmingham, South Florida, and Dallas -- primarily in the television industry -- where I was immersed yet another hybrid universe, a fun-house world of ego, transitory celebrity, and social manipulation. These days I live and work in a cabin on the edge of the Ozark National Forest in northwest Arkansas, decompressing.
