From the museum
The Gift comprises forty-eight individual watercolor portraits of women artists, writers, and curators in Emma Amos’s community in New York in the early 1990s. The women pictured belong to different generations and are from a range of racial and ethnic backgrounds. Amos created the work as a birthday present for her daughter India. As a software engineer, India Amos’s work has focused on accessibility, publishing technologies, and the intersection of design and code.
