Headed Home— At Principle Gallery
If you take Greece apart, in the end you will see remaining to you an olive tree, a vineyard and a ship. Which means: with just so much you can put her back together.
–-Odysseus Elytis, The Little Seafarer (1988)
Still feeling way under the weather. It’s lingered for the past 10 or 11 days and I thought it was passing a few days ago. However, it came back with a vengeance yesterday and this morning. Even so, I feel obligated to remind you that my show, Entanglement, will only be hanging for three more days at the Principle Gallery.
I also realized that I had not yet shared the painting shown above, Headed Home. For me, it represents Odysseus’ epic journey and return to Ithaca. I thought a passage from Greek writer, Odysseus Elytis, who won the 1979 Nobel Prize for Literature, was therefore appropriate. It speaks to the resiliency of people to bounce back from great loss. We need to be reminded of that.
Here’s a slideshow from the Entanglement exhibit. which closes after July 7.
