Martha Tuttle
Martha Tuttle employs materials such as wool, silk, metal, and dye, using spinning, weaving and sewing as drawing tools in her artistic process. Her color palette is inspired by the beige desert landscape reminiscent of her childhood in Mexico. Works that inspire her are Candice Lin’s installations, Ana Mendieta’s political content and sense of form, and Bas Jan Ader’s play with sentimentality and absurdity. Tuttle mixes elements of textile and sculpture to create a serene atmosphere that is deeply personal. Her work demonstrates a poetic interpretation of painting and an interest in geometric abstraction.
