Dar Dowling is a New York based artist, writer, and filmmaker, who sees the combining of her various artistic exploits as the next evolution of her artistic expression. The Book of Darku combines her love of visual storytelling with her love of writing. Dar in many ways grew up in a Japanese Dojo, where she developed a fascination for the Japanese culture. She has always loved Haiku’s but as anyone who knows her is well aware, she has trouble coloring inside the lines. In this book, she brings together her love of capturing nature, cityscapes and random moments with her camera, and her love of Haikus, albeit Haikus that in some cases may not fit the traditional model, and in others may well smash it
