over the years...consistently

I think you need to split them up, to say something like: "Over the years, his work has consistently reflected his blah blah choices..."

Or maybe: "His work has long and consistently reflected..."


It really is terrible blah blah: his work can only be characterised by his own choices after all, not someone else's!
