2009 Touring Exhibition
Along Water Street: New Work by Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson
Life Along Water Street, 2000–2007
Based on the stories Aminah's Uncle Alvin told her as she was growing up and on old maps she studied at the library, these works on paper document the community that bordered the Scioto River in downtown Columbus before the 1913 flood. The artist describes the series as "going back and forth in history" and including references to early Native-American and African-inhabitants who populated the area hundreds of years ago as well as more recent nineteenth- and twentieth- century communities. These twelve rag paintings and sixty-foot long cloth RagGonNon are layered with meaning as well as fabrics and buttons Aminah was given by friends and acquaintances from Columbus and places she has visited.
