It was my pleasure to write a catalog essay for Alexandra Robinson's solo exhibition at Women & Their Work. Now available to read on the W&TW website, as well as installation photos of the show. It has been so meaningful to connect with Alex and become invested in her practice. I will forever talk about feeling rooted in our bodies and the definitions of authenticity. I hope we can continue to find ways to work together. You deserve all the good things, Alex, cheers! Alexandra Robinson’s solo exhibition, Delimitations, or words to live by uses both drawings and multimedia works to investigate ideas of identity and signifiers that question place and how one exists in that place. Robinson co-opts symbols in order to play with meaning and she is especially interested in an American ideology that was never meant for everyone even if multiplicity is the American experience. Robinson is deeply connected to the complex history of what it is to be Mexican-American (and one who didn’t grow up speaking Spanish) and of Jewish heritage brought up in a most American institution, the United States Army. These edges challenge and reinforce Robinson’s sense of identity and are directly reflective of how generations of her family internalized what it means to be American. @alxrob @womenandtheirwork
