Completed in 2010, Revisitations consists of five luminous small-scale images printed on metallic paper and installed in unique wooden cases handcrafted specially for each picture by expert woodworkers Kathy and Jim Sawada. The images were constructed from Frank Rodick's probe into his family archives—materials compiled over more than half a century, mostly through his parents' used and antiquarian book business. In this mountain of books, documents, and photographs, he found pictures from sources diverse as antiwar pamphlets of the First Great War, early pornography, and historical materials based on the events that defined his parents' most acute experiences, in particular World War II and the Holocaust. These were also the images that marked Rodick's early life, personal totems he discovered during childhood wanderings, solitary and secretive. Returning to them after decades—an experience felt as much physically as psychologically—discharged a surge of memories, associations, and sensations. The result was a set of intimate and tactile works that speak to the potency of conflict, pain, and remembrance.
