WOUNHOM

NDED ME

Welcome to the

WOUNDED HOME Exhibition

July 22, 2013-January 20, 2014

Lloyd Library and Museum pre-sents Wounded Home, an exhibition that has been in the making since 2011, when guest art curator, Kate Kern, was invited to tackle the topic of the Civil War for the 150th Commemo-rative four-year cycle. The resulting exhibition, Wounded Home, takes its inspiration from a Victorian era parlor ravaged by the losses and upheaval of Civil War America. Combining the vocabu-laries of an iconic household interior, including Victorian customs of mourning and grief, with text and images from the Lloyd’s collection of Civil War resources, each artist has created a facet of a poignant and disturbing room-within-a-room in the Lloyd’s gallery space. Artists, Mary Jo Bole, Debbie Brod, Jenny Fine, Saad Ghosn, Celene Hawkins, Kate Kern, and Alice Pixley Young, have been meeting regularly since November 2011 and have created new works specifically for this exhibition. Lloyd materials used by the artists during their re-search are also on display, inviting visitors to make connections between the exhibition and the sources of inspiration from the Lloyd’s vast collection.

MARY JO BOLE www.maryjobole.com

I created wallpaper that consists of square images printed in multiples on a Vandercook press. These surround a larger painting depict-ing a family tree. This central image meshes many aspects of my research without explana-tion like the depicted image of an elephant; troops called going into battle as “meeting the elephant” for example. The paper has bits of bark within it, enhancing a quality of impend-ing chaos or decay.

DEBORAH BROD www.debrod.com

My first thought when invited to draw from the Lloyd Library’s rich collection of botanically-based books for this Civil War/domestic parlor exhibit: medicinal plants for healing. But as I delved into the root causes of the war, slavery took center stage: this antique table appears wounded, or at least fragile, with one leg broken. And the table covering won’t lay flat: as if turned inside out, a tangle of viscera, full of stories, fully exposed, and vulnerable.

JENNY FINE jennyfine.com

Upon discovering early illustrations of skin diseases in Dr. Walker’s scrapbooks and The Photographic Atlas of Skin Diseases, I became in-terested in making contemporary renderings of diseases associated with the Civil War. I was drawn to these early medical illustrations for both their haunting presence and the process in which they were made. Inclined to engage in a similar form of creating, I photographed three contemporary individuals. Drawing with graphite and watercolors, I hand-altered the final photographs.

SAAD GHOSN

Both my pieces address the issue of war and that, irrespective of their stated motives, wars always have other real, hidden motives that deal with politics, control, domination, greed, profit… Sadly, the result of every war is a heavy human toll. One of the pieces, an installa-tion, refers to the underestimated 620,000 indi-viduals killed during the Civil War; the other, a photomontage, merges images of Civil War in-juries and destruction with religious iconogra-phy, with the Lloyd Library providing the im-ages of the wounded as a starting point.

CELENE HAWKINS www.hawkinsandhawkins.biz

My piece explores the tragedy of industry and wealth built on the subjugation of the African peoples, and the attitudes embodied by D.A. Tompkin's statement: "The white man loves to control and loves the person willing to be con-trolled by him. The negro readily submits to the master hand, admires and even loves it. Left to his own resources and free to act as his mind or emotions dictate, no man can foresay what he is liable to do."

KATE KERN www.katekern.com

I came across the multi-volume set of the Medi-cal and Surgical History of the War of the Rebellion while searching for inspiration for another pro-ject. The photographs and prints of wounds and wounded soldiers stayed with me, gradually developing into an idea of using the deceptively lush bullet entrance and exit wound image as upholstery on a period piece of furniture. The resulting Our Nation Mourns: Wounded Settee places the horror of war inside the home of a nation fighting itself.

ALICE PIXLEY-YOUNG alicepixleyyoung.com

My research focuses on looking and longing and the tension created when one is confined to a specific place, role or identity. A cast glass picture frame with video projection will show long, meditative views of the Ohio River that shift visually from the river’s Kentucky and Ohio sides, marking departure and arrival points for escaping slaves. Separately, an in-stallation of cast glass lace collars mark the ab-sence of the figure, and also become a signifier of identity and place.
