Someone gave us a small book called The Great Chicken Escape by Nikki McClure for Christmas and it was one of the most brilliant, simple, visual stories i have seen in years. Her work is beautiful and can be purchased at BuyOlympia.com.
From her site: Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington is known for her painstakingly intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Armed with an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper and creates a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture.
