Erika Iris Simmons' Cassette Tape Art is Upcycled Music at its Finest
Luisa Amanda Gomes — February 1, 2010 — Art & Design
Erika Iris Simmons' cassette tape art shows us a different kind of art by creating portraits with some odd stuff. In the past she created a portrait of Shakespeare with his collection of books, but most impressive is her latest venture.
As video and cassette tapes are becoming prehistoric forms of media, Erika Iris Simmons takes that magnetic tape to create wonderful portraits of famous figures in pop culture. Many of them can be found on video/cassette tapes, too (or vinly records, depending how old you are).
