About the Item

Repurposed metal type was fused in the shape of a mask then cast in aluminum and polished to create a rich surface by artist Dale Dunning. The title of the work palimpsest refers to a surface on which original writing has been erased to make way for more writing but of which traces still remain. The work is a narrative of time and history. This work is 5 in an edition of 7, please allow 4 - 8 weeks upon completion before delivery. Dale Dunning holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. While earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Mt.
