About the Program

These works began in the summer of 1981, six months after the death of Hinda Avery's mother. They were painted from photographs. In each painting the focus is on her mother, often surrounded by friends. Because her mother was small, the other people often extend beyond the canvas. Heads cut short, feet lost as the painting focuses on the tiny woman in the centre of the work. These works, completed over three consecutive summers, are close to Avery and are not for sale.
