Story

Story

Getting off the trail... that's where the wild things live and that's where I want to be.

I have to explore. It's just my nature. Getting off the trail and walking out into the middle of the scrub brush, cacti, yucca and cholla, that's where the wild things live and that's where I want to be. When I take a walk to explore the flora and fauna in this way, everything seems rich and vivid, and the discoveries abound. That's the feeling I wanted to capture here: that Nature is limitless and overflowing and the textures and colors are a feast for the senses.

Dolan Geiman Paper Collages

Dolan's signature paper collage artwork celebrates America's West and Southwest. Color, composition, and detail come to life in hand-cut vintage materials, many salvaged in Dolan's cross-country travels.

Creating the original collage starts with a wood panel. Dolan pulls vintage sheet music from his vast collection and applies these to the wood, first with glue, then with a top layer of whitewash paint. In many prints, this background layer of sheet music peeks through.

Next, Dolan draws the outline for the original collage in graphite atop the sheet music.

Dolan returns to his extensive trove of collected papers – think magazines, antique textbooks, handwritten letters salvaged from abandoned farmsteads - and begins pulling the ideal colors for the piece. He cuts each piece of material by hand and carefully layers into the artwork. These collages are carefully crafted from thousands of small papers: no two are exactly alike.

Dolan's paper collages are finished in a handmade frame constructed from salvaged metal or a modern, minimal wood or metal frame.
