Hundertwasser's comment on the work

I couldn't help filling out all surfaces with stripes. The lines must be taken all the way through and must not stop. At "bottlenecks" the stripes got narrower. This is of course an additional, seemingly useless busy-ness, a kind of self-imposed ascetic exercise, "making things difficult for oneself", but just painting on a surface seems dishonest to me even today. A surface is like a living being. It consists of lines, ribbons and stripes, which often lie very delicately next to each other. It is a way of painting which corresponds to the way sediment layers are formed. Often the subject is unimportant, only the sediment layers have to be right. I called this procedure fluidoid and spiraloid exercises. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 284)
