The Process

Each Dolan Geiman collage is crafted from hand-cut vintage papers sourced over decades of exploration and careful categorizing, held dearly until the perfect piece arrives to claim their colors and texture.

The Story

Part of the inspiration for this series came from folk tales my father would share around the campfire each summer, and also my desire to create a Western heroine heroine who represented the strong female role models in my life: my wife, my mother, my sister, my aunt, my grandmothers. I imagine these collaged figures as a band of sisters, each with their own distinct personality and style. They come from a place of strength and nurture, fiercely protective of their family, community, and sense of right.

Understanding Limited Series

Each work in Dolan Geiman’s portfolio is unique and hand-crafted. Some are one-of-a-kind pieces while others are reiterations of a recurring theme, denoted as Limited Series throughout the site.

Each piece in a Limited Series is created with a inimitable collection of found materials so that no two are exactly alike. Iterations will vary slightly in color, pattern, typography and frame; each is crafted in a limited quantity and without a predetermined edition numbering.
