Dayton artist Dawn Moriarty goes hunting whenever she can, tracks down her prey, and drags it down to her cave. Only she doesn't go after animals. Or anything alive, actually.

What she does hunt are all sorts of paper products – tags, receipts, stationery, old sewing patterns, diaries, textbooks, ledgers – as well as vintage lace and fabrics. Her hunting grounds are antique stores, junk shops, yard sales, estate sales, secondhand stores, library sales, and anywhere else she finds objects that she can re-purpose and turn into her signature nostalgia journals.
