"Woman leaning back changes colors slowly, which gives the image an aspect of certain periods of time in art history. Abstract forms come and go like thoughts. The motionless figure relates to the abstract, like colours relate to the giving of a meaning of the image.

The sound is "distorted Webern", a soundimpression of Webern's music on a worn out tape-recorder in my painting studio."
