Size & Details

Size & Details

Feel the energetic pull inwards, towards the center of the earth, a contemporary reimagining of the patterns nature creates without so much as a second thought. In this abstract mixed media work, hundreds of hand-cut, hand-formed pieces of salvaged metal, each screen printed with unique detail and carefully arranged in an inward spiral, reminiscent of an elderly pine's cross-section, always growing outward while remaining tethered to its center, to its beginning.

Story

Story

Each of the elements used in the creation of this piece is a small piece of metal that has been painted, screen printed, and hand manipulated to form an organic cup-like shape that will capture light and energy. Everyone will see something different in this piece-something organic, something natural, possibly a puzzle or even something much simpler. The piece can be read in several ways: by standing approximately ten feet away the energy feels very calm, somewhat silent. The movement in the work is very mild. As you approach, however, and get within arms length, you will notice an increase in the pull of the piece, as it opens up and the details become more apparent. There is an ebb and a flow in the work when standing close to it, and a soft rhythm.

Process

Process

Dolan reignites his love for screen printing, combining it with an exploration of salvaged metal on wood. Hundreds of pieces of salvaged metal were screen printed and carefully folded by hand (a process Dolan has likened to making pierogies). Each petal-shaped piece was arranged with much intention on a stark white background to create contrast, particularly with the deep, almost hypnotic center of the work.
