Artist Erika Iris Simmons has created an series of musician portraits using recycled cassette tapes. From Erika:
The idea comes from a phrase (ironically) coined by philosopher Gilbert Ryle, a description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging.
