Hundertwasser once said that all he wanted to do was to sit in the shade of a tree and watch the plants grow and it was in this way that he painted himself in the labyrinth of tree rings stretched out though in paradise under the tree of knowledge. Conversation With a Tree here Conversation and Conservation mean the same the conversation with the tree means its conservation. Hundertwasser's meditative one might almost say religious contemplation of a tree and the mythology of the Maoris encounter one another in a picture like Pohutukawa tree.(Brockstedt, Hans (ed.): Ao Tea Roa - Island of Lost Desire, design and photographs by Hundertwasser, Hamburg: Albrecht Knaus Verlag, 1979)
