Lloyd Art Fellow (at right). The show features several new works by Henson, an Art Academy of Cincinnati professor, on the theme of alchemy and astral projection.

Henson, already driven by his interests in magic and mysticism, was fascinated by these texts and has created several new artworks based on his experiences with these rare volumes. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_3" o:spid="_x0000_s1026" type="#_x0000_t75" alt="mortificatio_half.tif" style='position:absolute;margin-left:1.5pt;margin-top:7.55pt;width:136.5pt;height:180pt;z-index:251656704;visibility:visible;mso-wrap-style:square;mso-wrap-distance-left:9pt;mso-wrap-distance-top:0;mso-wrap-distance-right:9pt;mso-wrap-distance-bottom:0;mso-position-horizontal:absolute;mso-position-horizontal-relative:text;mso-position-vertical:absolute;mso-position-vertical-relative:text'>
