'Stencil art — one of the oldest art forms — seems a perfect fit for the military, a subculture focused on uniformity and limits. Well-defined rules govern life for service members within the base perimeter. Often associated with protest movements and adrift between free-form graffiti and sanctioned signage, it is a subversive form caught within borders. The very edges that seek to restrain actually form the art. These boundaries also ask to be broken. With stencils, conformity becomes liberating.'
