 | | While Nickle is certainly not representative of the mainstream, his work nonetheless reveals significant affinities to that of the Abstract Expressionists. |
 | | By locking paper detrius-soiled, crumpled, cracked, folded, marked, printed, stained and decaying tags, wrappers, cardboards, foils, etc. - in a poetic time capsule, Nickle shows us where we've been, are, and by progression, what the future holds. |
 | | These emotive, romantic, ecological layers are as much a part of Nickle's pristine collages as the diverse layers of paper he uses, and they account in part for the appeal of his work. |
