These works started in the summer of 1981, six months after the death of Hinda'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 inteh centre of the work. These works, completed over three consecutive summers, are close to Hinda and are not for sale.

"autobiographical/ a reaction to the outer world/ making something out of nothing with found objects/ building constructions out of non-art materials/ panels of newspaper images layered relayered pasted and then printed/ obscure yet legible about memory and the onslaught of media images/ for entirely personal reasons with personal rules/ part random part decision part indecision; an artist's response-ability."

Lunar Suede is another of an increasingly visual group of artists who make use of 'found objects' in their work. Lunar is from Courtenay on Vancouver Island and along with Ken KRAK Gerberick and MANDAD, these artists have worked out the "Pigeon Lake Mall" (Cumberland dump) to create a body of work that is at once visually exciting, humourous and contains a great deal of social and political relevance. Lunar was originally a carver but his tie up with MANDAD and KRAK changed all that. Most of the work is assemblage pieced together with an eye for both painting and sculpture. Its use of other people's garbage provides fascinating visual pieces taken out of context and an interesting commentary on how we live in the consumer society.

Twilight Rambler is a one-man musically theatrical presentation, performed by David Campbell. Through the combined arts of singing, storytelling and poetry, David portrays his own experiences in search of his true identity. The journey starts in colonial Guyana, proceeds to Canada, then on to Great Britain and back to Canada once more. In the end he becomes at one with his Native Indian ancestry. This is the saga of a universal man.

A musical presentation based on the life of Jean Donovan (one of the four American church workers killed in El Salvador in 1980). In journal form, interspersed with songs we trace the evolution of Jean's character before and after her experiences in El Salvador. The transformation of her consciousness is a moving and inspiring example to all of us in the Western world who aspire to global vision, and who often feel powerless to implement change where it is desperately needed.

"I wanted to break through an unrealistic theatrical convention garrulity. The most important 'action' of my characters is their silence... Their problems lie so far back and are so advanced that they are no longer able to express them in words." - Franz Xaver Kroetz. Request Concert is about the role of order in a woman's life. It deals with loneliness and non-commmunication. She has no words to convey the desperateness of her situation. Huachiman Theatre has been working in Vancouver for the last five years. This production starts Morgan McGuigan and is directed by Glenn Alteen.
