The Architecture Of Afterthoughts
2026

The Architecture of Afterthoughts is shaped by revision and return. The painting began as a surface dominated by vivid pinks and reds, later reworked through dense layers of green acrylic that partially obscure – yet never fully erase – the earlier composition. Traces of the original remain visible at the edges and through interruptions in the paint, functioning as memory rather than focal point.

Cut-out text fragments – “superfluous gestures” and “unlimited emotions of what is hidden” – are embedded and disrupted through gestural, asemic writing. As language dissolves into rhythm and density, green intervals – the Leerräume – form between clusters of marks. Rather than concealing its history, the work carries it forward, holding tension between excess and restraint, visibility and concealment.
