The first idea began in 2017. The pieces sat for years until I looked at them again in 2026. That’s where Revisionism began.

I came back to them with a different eye. I wasn’t trying to add more. I was trying to find the one part that would make the paintings hold together.

The collage element changed everything. It gave the color and marks something to push against. Without it, the paintings still felt unresolved. With it, they became what they are now.

The limited palette makes small choices matter. One shift in yellow changes the pressure. One black mark can steady the painting or take over. Grey gives the eye space to move.

That’s what I care about in these paintings. The balance comes from revising, placing, looking again, and knowing when the painting has enough.
