Dale Dunning's contemporary sculptures embody the human head as a metaphor for shared experiences. This bronze tabletop piece features a hand-forged, oval head with closed eyes, evoking a serene restfulness. The neutral palette, achieved through layers of white lacquer and wax, imparts a smooth, matte, and opaque finish. 

Dunning, with a Master of Fine Arts from Cranbrook Academy of Art and mentorship under Lawren P. Harris and George Tiessen, modernizes the ancient tradition of sculpting the human face. Exhibiting across Canada, his works grace private, corporate, and public collections, including prestigious institutions like the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Robert McLaughlin Gallery, McIntosh Gallery at Western University, Carleton University Art Collection, and the National Library of Canada.
