One of the art experiences for the beginning ceramic students in the Bellflower art program was to create a realistic human head for a first semester project and an emotional human head in the second semester. Most of the students claim their heads but over the course of 25 years Charles was unable to discard the unclaimed heads and his collection grew exponentially. Charles and his friend Jill Carol came up with the idea of giving these heads a second chance and the idea of the  “Heads – Up” project to benefit the dA Center for the Arts was born.  Artists of all ages in and beyond the dA community were invited to select one or more of the unclaimed heads and to transform them with a new look.
