Tuttle is a New Yorker whose fragile art straddles barriers between genres. Combining elements of drawing, painting and sculpture, the work defies characterization as one or the other, employing invariably povere materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric, string, metal, wood and found objects. Tuttle’s art constantly explores the relationship between materials and their surfaces. By means of it's reduced scale and modest presence, his work diametrically opposes the authoritarian stance of Minimalist art.
