Story
Each family member is represented as a distinct bird.
Spanning over ten feet wide, this custom owl family
sculpture was constructed from hand-cut, reclaimed metal layered on wood. All different species, including Great Horned, Barn and Screech owls, the members of a special repeat-collector family is represented here as a distinct bird, each with their own character and charm. The concept began with the clients referencing past Dolan Geimansculptures (like this owl piece, Wayfaring Wings) and requesting a custom set be created to suit a specific wall in their living space. Dolan presented a series of options and configurations, and the clients were delighted to proceed with this Colorado-inspired version with a mountain backdrop and quirky clouds crafted from sheet-music-treated wood panels. Surely a family heirloom to be passed down, this unique work offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship behind Dolan’s
signature sculptural style and a peek into the story of this beautiful family.
