Consciously Curated:
The Art of Dolan Geiman
Hello! This is Danielle, aka The Jealous Curator, and I’m beyond thrilled to be a brand new contributor to the always fabulous, ecofabulous! I’ll be here every Thursday with a bit of consciously curated art for you… and as a matter of fact, I’m starting today with the amazing work of American artist Dolan Geiman. Urban folk art that is created by using rescued wood and found objects… yep, he makes it impossible not to be jealous! Here are a few words from Dolan that do a wonderful job of describing his views on “being green”:
“Being green is something my parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were doing long before it was trendy and associated with fancy green lingo like staycationing. Cutting up old clothes for rags and floor rugs, pulling hardware from rotting doors and floorboards, and making toys from tin and string, I was taught at an early age that everything around me could have multiple purposes. These tenets provided a solid foundation on which to build a career as a found object and mixed media artist, satisfying a deep-rooted appreciation for turning the discarded and ordinary into the extraordinary.”
See? Oh, so good! Ok, I’ll see you back here next Thursday… I have lots of ecofabulous art work coming your way! Stay tuned
