Nikki McClure è rinomata per i suoi meticolosi e bellissimi ritagli di carta. Armata di un bisturi, crea un audace linguaggio visivo che traduce la complessa poesia della maternità, della natura e dell'attivismo in immagini semplici e accattivanti. Il suo lavoro incarna il fuoco ferocemente indipendente che ha alimentato passione e creatività, risuonando con uno spirito di ribellione artistica. Lo stile di McClure è una testimonianza di come un'arte potente ed evocativa possa emergere da un mezzo minimalista.
