In this series I showcase a number of portraits of musicians made out of recycled cassette tape with original cassette. Also included are portraits made from old film and reels. The idea comes from a philosopher’s (Ryle) description of how your spirit lives in your body. I imagine we are all, like cassettes, thoughts wrapped up in awkward packaging. : )

Still got all your old aircheck tapes? But don’t artify your mix tapes until they’re digitized.

    Finally, a good use for those old tapes! I remember when I was a kid always seeing tapes and videos on the side of the road, tape all pulled out and tangled up…but now I can relive the experience…except with art!
