Daedalus 2/7

About Daedalus 2/7

Dale Dunning is referencing Greek mythology in this haunting metal wall sculpture.
Cast in aluminum, a mask in the shape of a human head also has elegant white wings covering the eyes. According to Greek legend, Daedalus, a skilled craftsman built wings of wax and feathers so that both he and his son Icarus could fly. Icarus famously flew too close to the sun, the wings melted and he fell into the sea and drowned.
This sculpture is 2 in an edition of 7 and is available by commission. Please allow 2 to 3 months for delivery.
