"…when I paint it's always as if I'm trying to paint away the pictures stuck inside me, yes, the ones like this picture, of him and her sitting there, to get rid of them in a way, be done with them, I've sometimes thought that's why I became a painter, because I have all these pictures inside me, yes, so many pictures that they're a kind of agony, yes, it hurts me when they keep popping up again and again, like visions almost, and in all kinds of contexts, and I can't do anything about it, the only thing I can do is paint, yes, try to paint away these pictures lodged inside me, there's nothing to do but paint them away one by one…" - Jon Fosse, The Other Name: Septology I-II
