Along Water Street: New Work by Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson November 29, 2007

Columbus artist Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson has created a series of twenty rag paintings that are layered with meaning as well as fabrics and buttons given to the artist by friends and acquaintances from Columbus and places she has visited. Based on the stories her Uncle Alvin told her as she was growing up as well as 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 monumental 1913 flood.
