From the time of ancient Egypt, deathmasks have been used to immortalize the powerful, the rich and the famous. Egyptian pharaohs, European kings, and religious  leaders have all been preserved in this manner. 

S.W.A.T. artists Catherine Freeman and Birney Hand have updated this ancient artform, applying modern materials and technologies, and are producing unusual and elegant sculptures based on these techniques. Visit our site again soon and see some of their work. Custom lifecastings of you or your loved ones are also available...e-mail us at swat@usit.net for details.
