Process

Process

A repeat collector of Dolan’s requested he create a mixed media work using a deer skin handed down through his family to celebrate the family’s Native American heritage. Look closely, and you will see the deer hide represented in each figure’s intricate garments.

In addition to the leather hide's stitching, each artwork is constructed from hand-cut paper (including the intricate beaded detail), then mounted inside a shadowbox-style frame. The talisman elements are mounted on individual pieces of wood and suspended inside the frame.

Throughout, the papers and materials included tell stories of the family, their history and their present pastimes. This storytelling, both through theme and material, is one of Dolan's most beloved ways to celebrate a collector's family and traditions through his bespoke commission process.
