This was an incredible project! We covered a real 1941 Ford body in mosaic, to be displayed as a sculpture out in Oregon. This project took several months to complete - interior was mosaiced as well. The engine was removed from the car so it is not driveable, but it is rollable (or at least it was until they put the decorative wheels on - now I’m not sure.) Along with myself, this mosaic was fabricated by Wendy Percoco and Eloise Baro (who came over to the US just to help us finish it).

In 2023, the car was purchased by the High Desert Museum in Oregon, where it is currently on display.
