About Scattering

Forged from metal, this contemporary wall sculpture in a mask form is by Dale Dunning. The Canadian sculptor often uses recycled metals—this human-shaped head is fabricated from the centres of laser cut brushed aluminum pieces salvaged from another sculpture. Dunning’s masterful work often revolves around universal themes such as the human desire to ‘pull meaning from apparent chaos’.
His favoured form, a faceless head, becomes a metaphor for all humankind. The form is enhanced by the ‘scattering’ of light that naturally reflects off the metal surface.

“The title “Scattering” is a nod to a cosmological term, “the surface of last scattering” which refers to the furthest extent of the observable universe.” - Dale Dunning

“Dale Dunning is an exceptionally versatile artist. He has mastered techniques in bronze, aluminum, steel and glass over four decades of relentless creativity.” - Sanjeev Sivarulrasa, Curator Sivarulrasa Gallery

Dunning holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan. While earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Mt. Allison University, Dunning studied under Lawren P. Harris (son of Group of Seven member Lawren S. Harris) and George Tiessen. Dunning has exhibited across Canada and his work is held in private, corporate and public collections including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, McIntosh Gallery at Western University, Carleton University Art Collection, and the National Library of Canada.
