iri5 here. 

My name is Erika Iris Simmons. 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. 

Right now I live in Georgia : )

But I am always on the move... 

I'm 26, graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, 2006, with a degree in Russian.
