Kern was invited to tackle the topic of the Civil War for the 150<sup>th</sup> Commemorative four-year cycle (2011-2015). The Lloyd wanted to provide a unique experience related to the war as well as commemorate a special event in its own historical time, namely the arrival of John Uri Lloyd to Cincinnati, Ohio, to begin his pharmacy apprenticeship, an act that ultimately led to the formation of the Library that bears his and his brothers’ name.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Combining text and images from the Lloyd Library and Museum’s (<a href="http://www.lloydlibrary.org">www.lloydlibrary.org</a>) collection of Civil War resources with their own aesthetic vision, visual artists Mary Jo Bole, Deborah Brod, Jenny Fine, Celene Hawkins, Saad Ghosn, Kate Kern and Alice Pixley Young, have worked together to create a poignant and disturbing room within a room in the Lloyd’s gallery space.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mary Jo Bole’s sculptures, book works and drawings often involve intensive historical research. Bole’s wallpaper installation made of multiple images printed on rice paper using a Vandercook press (thanks to Jim Chapa and the Logan Elm Press in Columbus, Ohio), features historical images juxtaposing aspects of her LLM research such as the image of an elephant, referencing the phrase “going to meet the elephant” used by Civil War era troops to mean going into battle, next to images of domestic life and ephemera from 1860’s advertisements. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Deborah Brod frequently employs translucent materials and layering techniques in her sculptural installations. Initially drawn to LLM sources about botany and medicinal plants for healing, as Brod’s research deepened the theme of slavery captured her focus. Her repurposed antique table appears wounded with one leg broken. Its covering refusing to lay flat; as if turned inside out, suggesting a tangle of viscera, exposed and vulnerable.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jenny Fine is a photographer whose images and environments are inspired by the rural southern landscape and her family’s stories. Haunted by the presence of the human images in early illustrations of skin diseases, Fine became interested in making contemporary renderings of diseases associated with the Civil War. Her series of hand altered photographs using contemporary individuals is inspired by the aesthetics and process of these early illustrations.<span style='color:red'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:red'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Celene Hawkins creates sculpture, installations and computer manipulated photo works. She is a partner at Hawkins and Hawkins Custom where she specializes in bronze casting and welded metal projects. Her piece, a working chandelier, <a name="_GoBack"></a>built from mixed metals, hydrocal, found elements, and glass, explores the tragedy of industry and wealth built on subjugation of the African peoples.
