Process

Process

Using a variety of rescued and repurposed materials - from scrap car doors to vintage tin cans, to TV trays and old signs - I hand-cut and place each individual piece of metal, layering color and texture on color and texture until the perfect image emerges. Mounted on a circular background treated with antique sheet music and a wash of white paint and finished in a frame found housing a mirror in a tiny thrift shop in a tiny mountain town.

Dolan Geiman Metal Wall Sculpture

Contemporary assemblage mixed media artist Dolan Geiman uses intricately cut salvaged metal to create a different type of found object artwork in upcycled materials. These original artworks hang as highly tactile metal wall sculptures, echoing some of Dolan's other artworks available in paper collage. Bold in color and rich in detail, discover some of the atypical materials given new life for these metal creations, like car doors, kitchen utensils, oil cans and antique farming equipment.
