Collect Raindrops: The Seasons Gathered

About this book

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 McClures 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.
