Cassette Tapes!?

There is a strong sense of 'mend and make do' on the allotment even today; I hardly saw a new piece of equipment and everything was recycled to create something else. I wanted to reflect this in my work and I think using cassette tape is the answer.
In today’s media world it seems almost a relic already, but there is a certain warmth to cassette tape that is hard to achieve in digital form, and even then it is 'fake'. Also, the cassette tape helps represent a certain mechanical approach to my work, and is also a tangible object that people can feel, rather than simply something that exists in ‘cyberspace’.
