About Erika (iRI5):
iRI5 is an imaginative painter and sculptor who is driven by an incredible passion for self-expression through art. Her works are often noted for their unique style, elegance, and technique. iRI5 has developed an innovative style that focuses on recycling found materials, such as old cassettes and used books. Her use of such a variety of techniques and materials make her work an excellent choice for a wide range of projects and purposes. iRI5 is accomplished in using traditional methods as well as modern technique. Her works have been featured in galleries in London and Brisol. iRI5’s art has also been featured in weblogs, newspapers, and magazines all over the world. Although irI5 loves to express her vision through art, she is also adept at creating commercial works and readily communicates the vision of her clientele.
Erika on her work:
I am a self-taught artist who works with non-traditional media. Most of my materials have been discarded or donated at some point. I try to express an idea, through the arrangement of very common things, with the hope that some message is conveyed without words. I love the nostalgia of the archaic and I hope that not everything which has outlived its use goes to waste.
I don’t understand iR15. Sorry to be so dense. Beautiful work simply beautiful.
This is so coool! When I first saw this I lost my breath! I’m just a amteur at stuff like this! Your so good at it! I hope that I’m as good as you one day!This is so awesome!

Interesting and very original artwork. Like the idea of recycling and creating beauty.
Another amazing artist. Incredible creations made from ordinary elements. Check out the Obama portrait made from photos of him at her Artist site. What a talent.

Funny, I hadn’t even realized what I was looking at! It took a second time for me to “get it.”
