an exhibition of new works by Nikki McClure
Needles & Pens
3253 16th Street, San Francisco, Ca. 94103
Friday, November 6, 2009, 6:00 - 9:30 PM
On display will be a collection of original paper cuts from the Olympia-based artist's 2010 Calendar and from her latest children's book, "All In A Day."
"Revive. Embrace. Sew patches onto patches. Extend. Insure. Rely on stones and Mothers. Tell time by crow flight. Always learn and grow. Please. Make enough to spare. Seal summer away. Invite winter. Eat out. Make sauerkraut. Expand your use of tools." - Nikki McClure
Created from a single sheet of paper and an x-acto blade, McClure's highly-detailed works were first popularized through their use on record covers and fanzines of the 1990's Riot Grrrl movement. Today, her iconic, intricately hand-crafted imagery can be seen in magazine illustrations, journals, children's books, apparel, and in her much sought-after yearly calendar. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience her infrequently shown works in person!
(Revive will be on display through December 8th, 2009)
Artist will be in attendance.

LOVE Nikki McClure! I have given prints of many of her images as gifts. I've never gotten to see her actual papercuts - I hope they're eventually shown in NYC!
