 Lyrical Anachronism: the visual imagination of Dame Darcy
Darcy's cinema is a collaborative practice; while she typically contributes art design and the soundtrack music, animation duties are largely the task of her colleagues.
Instead, Darcy's films are the proof of an acute sensitivity to musical dynamics; a sensitivity perhaps enhanced by her chimerical multiple career as a musician, as well as an accomplished artist and animator.
Dame Darcy will be visiting Australia in December, ostensibly to promote the local release (through Simon & Schuster) of her new book, "Frightful Fairytales".

 Splendid Magazine reviews Dame Darcy: Dame Darcy's Greatest Hits
Dame Darcy (aka Arc Farrow) is one multitalented lady.
Dame Darcy's Greatest Hits is a collection of indifferent production quality, several of the songs having been recorded live with what sounds like a Dictophone, but it's a practically endless source of entertainment.
It's alternately silly and sappy and it practically screams "novelty act", but someone who wears a corset and draws comics featuring a character who speaks by vomiting Pez tablets from a bloody slit in her throat is hardly taking much seriously.

There were also what appeared to be several hand-made frames--I'm guessing they were made from construction paper, stencils, and silver spray paint--that I felt contributed to the pieces' originality.
The exhibit also included a wall devoted to letters, drawings, and objects left or sent to Dame Darcy in appreciation of her work, with a line of devotional candles at the base.
