Tuttle and Texture

We have been looking at tools, machines and parts of old cars. We made some drawings and looked at the variety of shapes and textures.

This week we began to imagine other ways of creating texture. We looked at Richard Tuttle’s work, who has recently had an exhibition at Whitechapel Gallery and Tate Modern.

We looked at the variety of materials used in his work. What can you see here?

We then experimented with printing using different materials to see what marks we could make. Wire, bubble wrap, sandpaper, fabric, card, shoelaces, foam, sponge, velcro, foil…

We then looked again at the car parts and created a printing plate using the textures we liked.

This is one of Richard Tuttle’s Works  – we were quite inspired by this, but want to turn it into some kind of machine of our own..watch this space.WG-g9-Richard-Tuttle-I-Don’t-Know-.-The-Weave-of-Textile-Language-installation-view-2014.-Photo-credit-Stephen-White-2-1170x655
