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.
