Artist\u00a0Erika Iris Simmons<\/a>\u00a0makes wonderful use of\u00a0\u00a0recycled donated cassette tapes and film reels to create portraits of famous musicians and artists like Bob Marley, Jimmy Hendrix & John Lennon. Her artwork is totally unique and very creative.<\/p>\n

“I like to take things- random things- like what you would find at a garage sale or in a thrift store- and make them into composite art. Most of my pieces become portraits of people associated with the item I\u2019ve chosen. I don\u2019t really add any paint or pigments\u2026 I usually just take things apart and re-arrange the pieces, cutting away portions when necessary. A lot of my art is made with cassette tapes and old film reels in a series I call – Ghost in the Machine<\/a>.” – says Erika Simmons<\/p>\n
