LET THAT TAPE KEEP ROLLIN'



Iri5 creates portraits of celebrities using cassette tapes. The series is called Ghost in the Machine and features Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison and others.
I am an artist who specializes in using non traditional media… old books, cassettes, playing cards, magazines, credit cards… whatever I can find. It feels great to work with strange, older materials. Things that have a mind of their own. Most everything I use has been thrown away or donated at some point. Past its prime, like some of the finest things in the world.
Amazing stuff.
