Hundertwasser's comment on the work
I lived in a hut in the trees near an old barge which was still in use as a houseboat in the mangrove swamp. There I painted many pictures while waiting until I could move into my farm. It was a time of great intensity. One could go up to the road on foot through a tea-tree forest or go to Opua, a small harbour, by water with a small dinghy. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 582)
