While researching Richard Tuttle, I noticed that a lot of his work was ordinary materials that had details that will absorb you into his work overtime. He uses a lot of manipulation of texture and size/shape. What I did with this project was an attempt to emulate his work process into my own. I glued two pieces of wood together, using wood glue and then painted over the two wood, in attempt to create this indention, which some of Tuttle's work showed. Then I used three pieces of wire to try to create this bending of mind effect, which Tuttle did, accordingly to how I saw him manipulate wires in his works. I threw in some painted mini chunks of cardboard pieces to create a sense of flow, which draws to a point, I sort of wanted a mesmerizing absorbing effect like how Tuttle did his. The red, blue and yellow paint was random. Overall I think a work that is simple with texture is the defining edge of Richard Tuttle.
