Much like vinyl did a few years ago, cassette tapes seem to be having aresurgence.
So what better time to pay tribute to these portable music vessels?

Elton John
Corson began her cassette tape project about a decade ago.
With no way to play them anymore, I wondered if they could be used in another way.
The very first portrait she did was Bob Dylan.
John Lennon
It reminded me of his curly hair and the rest is history.
I spent the entire weekend making a portrait of Dylan using just the cassette tape and some glue.
To Corson, this endeavor has allowed her to grow closer to her passions.
Dolly Parton
I love being able to combine both of these things together.
