March 23, 2017 - 'Off the Page - Maria Sibylla Merian' - Art Exhibit at Lloyd Library and Museum, Cincinnati Ohio

Join Meddling with Nature as we take Maria's original early 1700's seminal work on entomology and metamorphosis in Suriname off the page. We will recreate her colored illustrations as sculpture using real insect, animal, and botanical specimens in an exhibition opening at the Lloyd Library & Museum in Cincinnati in March of 2017.
