July 18th through August 16th, 2008 Kay Tuttle: Lost and Found Opening Reception: Friday July 18, 2008, 7 -10 pm Coffee and Donuts with the artist: Saturday August 2nd, 12-4 First Friday: Friday Aug 1st, 7-10 pm Closing Party: Saturday August 16th, 12-4 pm      Desserts I Stressed      Desserts and Drawing Exquisite Corpses,      paper and pens supplied Lost and Found Over the past few years Kay has been working on various found surfaces.  She finds these surfaces to be a puzzle that must be solved both visually and conceptually.  Also, the found imagery adds a layer of chance to the finished work as well as a sense of collaboration, either with persons unknown or her father. In this show at Ironton she will be showing three bodies of work. Collection Amusette, the first body of work, is a series of paintings on wood with imagery found in popular culture. The Victorian Drawing Series, the second body of work, consists of painted imagery on found Victorian prints.  The paintings have a fairy tale quality with imagery of spiders, birds and anatomical symbols. The third body of work, the Dad/Daughter Drawings, are a collaborative series with her father.  Her father tends to draw very masculine things, such as tanks, soldiers, etc, while Kay works with more stereotypically female images.  Kay Tuttle is a Denver born artist with an MFA from Arizona State University in Painting. She lived abroad in Germany and France several years and now lives in Denver. This is her first show at Ironton.     Ironton Studios is open Monday through Friday from 10 to 4, and Saturdays from 12 to 4.   Want to be informed about what's coming up at Ironton?
