About this ebook
“Gorgeous . . . it’s a stroll through winter, spring, summer and fall, as the reader savors her beautifully composed images of nature and family life.” —The Seattle Times
Gather, Navigate, Welcome, Fortify, Surrender, Save, Listen, Make Mistakes. These are some of the messages renowned artist Nikki McClure affirms in this gorgeous monograph of her paper cuts. Organized by season, these delicate pieces exude an optimism that revolves around community, sustenance, parenting, and appreciating both urban and rural landscapes. McClure’s work reminds us of 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.
This reissue of the 2007 art book includes sixty-four pages of new, breathtaking art. At a smaller trim size than the original, this volume makes the perfect gift.
“Absolutely beautiful in its entirety.” —Brain Pickings
