Collect Raindrops: The Seasons Gathered

by Nikki Mcclure

Collect Raindrops: The Seasons Gathered Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Collect Raindrops celebrates the important things: the change of seasons, slowing down the world for a moment so we can actually taste it, looking up at the stars to dream. Artist Nikki McClure's delicate images exude an optimism that revolves around community, sustenance, parenting, and appreciating both the urban and rural landscape through a visual language that is uniquely her own.

Armed with an X-acto knife, McClure painstakingly cuts out her images from a single sheet of black paper, creating a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture. The delicate nature of her work draws the eye, as each element has to be connected to the one next to it in some way, creating a fragile network of shapes and lines.

This book is full of lovely, thought-provoking pictures. Some clever, some nostalgic, all worth repeated viewings. An excellent gift for a first anniversary, where "paper" is the traditional gift.
