Word of Mouth; and Calm Down, from Artists for Obama
Tuttle's two intimate etchings showcase his characteristically spare, improvisational approach to mark-making and language, where fragile lines and handwritten text hover delicately on the open expanse of wove paper. *Word of Mouth* incorporates an added layer of Chine collé and acrylic spray, introducing subtle texture and color that animate the composition with quiet spontaneity. Together, the works reflect Tuttle's enduring interest in the intersection of image and word, distilling complex ideas into gestures of disarming simplicity.
