Beautiful art out of maps and atlases by Claire Brewster. I’ll Get There, I Know I Will.

This is the new project I just finished for our entryway. Mostly cassettes from @Zoe_Archer, but some of mine are sprinkled in. Plus cheap sunglasses.
This is a visual representation of my development as a writer. I listened to these very same cassette tapes when I was writing in junior high and high school, and even into college. Music videos were amongst my earliest inspirations, so listening to music was very evocative for my imagination. I held onto these cassettes far longer than they were useful. I haven’t had a cassette player in years, and the audio itself had grown so distorted over the years as to become unlistenable.
Same of the tapes include:
- Duran Duran, Seven and the Ragged Tiger
- Peter Gabriel, So
- The Princess Bride Soundtrack
- Arcadia, So Red the Rose
- Albums by the Chieftans and Clannad
- Adam Ant, Strip
- INXS, Listen Like Thieves
- The Go-Gos, Talk Show
- Bryan Ferry, Boys and Girls
- Mix tapes
Thank you to Nico for finding a new life for my earliest inspirations.
If the Blades of the Rose inspired art…
