Size & Details

A textural exploration in metal of one of Dolan’s iconic Western figures, Sonoran Ranger (Butterflies) combines ink transfer techniques (check out his intricately screen printed vest) with fabric pattern-making reimagined in 2D metal butterflies and feathers, each carefully cut from salvaged and vintage materials. His leather bandolier is crafted from upcycled cowboy boots, each individual bullet a vintage key tucked in tight. Look closely and you’ll see tiny treasures hidden throughout, a nod to the mountain locations where many of these pieces of scrap were found.
