This print presents the link between the emotional and physical realities of the AIDS patients that Avery treated as a psychiatrist. Not the Feet of the One and Only is inspired by Avery’s own massaging of the feet of one of his first patients at a time when many AIDS workers worried about exposure to the disease. The patient had Kaposi’s sarcoma, a common AIDS-related skin cancer.
