John C. Heglin has worked as an Artist/Sculptor for more than 30 years working in CLAY, METAL, GLASS and WOOD. He also has extensive training in psychology and counseling. His goal has been to develop a permanent, highly accurate affordable Life Casting, to offer to those who need it therapeutically, or even to those who just want to preserve their aesthetic form against the onslaught of aging.

Originally developed as a beneficial device to help woman deal emotionally with breast cancer, the process has developed into a unique and beautiful art form - a celebration of the female form - a perfect replica of the torso.

Graceful as a goddess, permanent as the pyramids.

This person had his face cast after being diagnosed with cancer.  He left clay faces of himself for his son. 

 

As he worked on ships in the military and loved to scuba dive, his son mounted his face on the hull of this underwater ship in San Diego where he worked for over a year to commemorate his life. 

 

It will stay there for all time.
