Original artwork description:

Three figures, two female and one male, are depicted on a bed at some stage of engaging in intimate activity. The chaos of the scene indicates that this process, though desirable and satisfying, whether between a married couple or among unattached partners, is never without complications and unrevealed baggage. The title, something of a tongue-in-cheek double entendre, refers to the fact that such scenes take place behind closed doors all across the country (and world) frequently and continuously, though rarely referred to, or even acknowledged publicly.

Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.
