“…every story is like a bell jar thrown into a rocky lake; it closes in its eye a roaring world, and doesn’t even know of the Universe outside; the planets spin in their orbits, stories happen without us even knowing, but still, if we turn our backs on them, they won’t stop happening.” – Gregory Norminton, The Ship of Fools
The Dear Darling body of work consists of a hundred mixed-media drawings all sized 210 x 297mm (or A4). They were created and offered for sale exclusively as part of Ivilina Kouneva’s initiated project Dear Darling By the Sea which ran from Valentine’s Day until Mother’s Day 2022. The project was a collaboration with WayfinderWoman Trust, a women-led charity in Eastbourne, England.
