 Artist
David Tomb (pronounced "tom") provides the College with quite a treat.
He is presenting a substantial amount of drawings and paintings in solo
shows at two venues.
"Tomb uses his subjects' appearance
to get his hand going, not as inroads to their character. Visitors leave
the show knowing no more than when they arrived about the people Tomb portrays,
likenesses aside."
- Kenneth Baker, San Francisco Chronicle
On Wednesday, September 21 from 6:30pm to
8:30pm there will be a reception for artist David Tomb in the Louie-Meager
Art Gallery in the Smith Center at Ohlone College. Mr. Tomb will be giving
a talk on his mixed media drawings at 7:30pm in the Jackson Theatre.
Faculty are encouraged to inform students

Artist's Statement
sincerely I respond
to listen
accommodating repose
listen to
these rocks upon which
we rest
sincerely in response
I wait
some where between
 joy
and silence
uncaught by myths
matrix
My work challenges "the woman's place in
society" as well as celebrating her achievements. It is based on my life
as a woman, raising my two daughters alone. My work and family are connected
in a deep way. Perhaps because my own artistic life has been so intertwined
with (sometimes retarded, sometimes advanced by) my life with my two daughters,
I feel that I did not find my true voice as an artist until after my youngest
daughter left home. Soon after she left, I became an active feminist, one
who believes in the social, financial, and political equality of the sexes.
