Often, letting the eye linger reveals Hinton himself, reflected in a mirror or a window. For example, in Schoolhouse Bath (2020), after your eyes move past the gorgeous pink and yellow shower curtain, the black and white tiled floor, the flourishing potted plants, the strangely placed cabinet, the light fixture, the autumn outside the window, they arrive at the artist himself, reflected in a mirror hanging on the wall, his easel with the painting of the bathroom before him.
