"I have been painting in the streets for nearly 30 years and have always strived to mirror my studio work in ways that reflect the ever-changing nature of how my work exists outdoors and in the wild. Only with time do colors change, textures multiply, and rich bits and pieces culminate into a deeper story. I aim for my work to be interactive, so I was thrilled to work with a process such as lenticular printing. It gave me the tactical ability to express the street's fluidity through the shifting of color, texture, and form" -Pose- Jordan Nickel
