Erika Simmons Composite Art

Fantastic art work made from film, video and audio tape, sheet music and other found items.  From Erika Simmon’s website:

“My name is Erika Iris Simmons and 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’ve chosen. I don’t really add any paint or pigments… 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.””

Check out Erika’s blog to see how she makes art Audrey again and again.
