DUNHAM AURELIUS
My work focuses on the human condition
influenced by my observations of war, suffering, oppression and poverty. I
also innately identify with, and pursue an aesthetic connection to the
aspects of primitive tribal arts and indigenous cultures. I create in
response to visceral and primal reactions to my view of these worlds. My
sculptures are composed of a variety of materials inclusive of clays,
waxes, wood, steel, bone, and found objects. I use the lost wax casting
method for transforming my art into bronze.
I currently live and work in Santa Fe,
New Mexico
1970 Born on June 28th in Ridgewood,
