Mixed Tape is a riot of nostalgia and neon, celebrating the era when cassettes ruled and playlists were handmade with love. This upcycled cassette tape wall art reimagines the classic mixtape through repurposed canvas, acrylic paint, offcuts, Tic Tac containers, slinkies, tape reels, weed eater cord, and squishy balls — transforming everyday scraps into a bold and playful masterpiece.
Measuring 136 cm x 96 cm, the work pulses with colour and rhythm, echoing the DIY spirit of the 80s and 90s. Layers of vibrant acrylics and reflective surfaces create a dynamic sense of motion, as if the tape itself is spinning to an unseen soundtrack.
Part celebration, part cultural time capsule, Mixed Tape embodies Lisa Watkins’ signature approach to upcycled art — taking landfill-bound materials and giving them a second life as striking contemporary wall art. Perfect for music lovers, collectors, or anyone who remembers the joy of pressing “record” on a Friday night.
