</SPAN>This exhibition will be a departure from the “typical” one, in which an
artist displays his or her most recent work.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This one will actually be a
retrospective that documents Lynn Carden’s research experience at the Lloyd and
the art she subsequently began making.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>From her original sketch books to the Lloyd resources in which she found
inspiration and its results, Carden will hang her unique floor-to-ceiling
mixed-media drawings, create a “mini” installation of her sketch books, tools,
and books from the Lloyd collection as well as display a few of her more recent
pieces.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The exhibit will allow
visitors to see how her work developed over the dozen or so years since she
first visited the Lloyd.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Carden
tells the story beautifully in her own words:<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“In 1998 the Art Academy of Cincinnati
hosted an exhibit of my work—a roomful of huge, blown-up depictions of the tiny
working parts of flowers. Outrageous as they were, the story of how they came to
be is a tale of quiet inquiry at another of
<st1:City><st1:place>Cincinnati</st1:place></st1:City>'s cultural institutions,
the Lloyd Library.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal

size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“During the preceding winter, when my garden
lay under a blanket of snow, I put down my brushes to do some research. For
years I'd been drawing and painting botanical matter as still life, landscape,
and more recently as the subject of botanical illustration. But I knew little
about this last genre.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I certainly
was not a scientist as the early illustrators had been: they bisected their
lilies and orchids; they studied the botany.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>So what could I learn from the work they
left behind?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I needed to find out.
And that is what drew me to the Lloyd Library.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal
style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><FONT
size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“At first I didn't know whether the library
would tolerate an artist working in its midst. <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>But the staff cheerfully brought me book
after book from its stacks, offered me white gloves to use while handling their
precious antiquities and moved furniture so that I could work.<SPAN

style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; mso-layout-grid-align: none"><FONT
size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">“In this quiet and friendly space, I leafed
through page after page of colorful depictions of the world's flora. But what
fascinated me were the line drawings that accompanied the flamboyant flowers,
the tiny ones that defined the flower's reproductive parts. Their infinite
variety and sensuality amazed me. Using a magnifying glass and chalk, I sketched
their intricate shapes, enlarging them many fold until I had enough of them to
cover the walls of my studio. And from these studies, I made the eye of a pansy
into a six foot sculptural shape on canvas, the throat of an iris into a
venus-like statue.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>

the archives of the Lloyd have continued to be a source of inspiration for my
newer work which I will also be displaying at the upcoming show in the library's
beautiful new gallery space.”<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></P>

materials on the subjects of pharmacy, botany, horticulture, herbal and
alternative medicine, pharmacognosy, and related topics.<SPAN

scientific focus, they also have relevance to humanities topics, such as visual
arts and foreign languages through resources that feature botanical and natural
