This steam-punk inspired metal sculpture incorporates Dunning's mask motif in metal print typeface and a re-purposed cast iron squeeze jolt molding machine. This machine was used to press sand in a flask around a pattern for molds used by foundries. The powerful 6.5 foot tall indoor sculpture incorporates enigmatic narrative with the aesthetic of 19th century industrial machinery.

This work weighs approximately 2000 pounds (900 KG). Consideration must be given to weight for shipping and installation.

"The head that I employ in most of my work is generic…I look on them as a mirror which reflects back the observer’s experience in new combinations and associations." Dale Dunning
