A commission for a Colorado mountain residence, this moose faux taxidermy sculpture was created by layering hundreds of individual pieces of handcut metal over a wooden form. The artist pulled special materials from his vast collection to bring together the spirit of the wilderness, elements unique to Colorado, and special requests from the client in bright tones to craft something truly unique and full of character. 

The first antlers of their kind, this piece features an artistic exploration of metal collage to create a 2D-meets-3D tactile experience of the moose’s stately headpiece. Dolan cut salvaged, screen printed metal to size and laid it into a handmade metal form. The moose's dewlap incorporates a wealth of found materials woven within the leather and metal.  

This piece resides on a stone fireplace overlooking the vast mountain scape of the Rocky Mountains, promising a watchful eye over the clients’ special home for decades to come.
