Nostalgia has long been a driving force behind Dolan's work, and the great thing about Nostalgia is that it's different for everyone.

In the artwork of Norwich, UK, based artist Olivia Jeffries, you can see how Nostalgia takes form often on scraps of found-paper and through vintage images of fashion-models, screenprints of trees over torn-out pages of old books, and gorgeous little drawings of featureless children. The work is sublte, almost other-worldly, and also has a great sense of humor (see her 'Candid Rear View' sketch on found paper for proof of that!).
