Pick Pyramids of Giza
Pick Pyramids of Giza
The Pick pyramids of Giza were inspired by two things. One was the fact that two black men, Samuel H. Bundles Jr., and Henry M. Childrey (Tulloch) invented the afro pick, inspired by the combs found in Egypt 5,500 years ago. Which brings me to the second inspiration, the pyramids of Giza. I incased these picks in resin to show the history and culture of grooming.

This piece was apart of an installation I curated along with my wife and daughter in our hometown Memphis, TN called “CHOPP SHOP: A Barber Exposé”. The exhibition offers an in depth exploration behind the history of barbers, hair artistry, women and male hair hygiene, and the overall therapy that lies underneath it all. Through film photography and other creative expressions, the work presents a sense of connection with the community.
