About the artist

My work is always asking how we, as human beings, can encourage intimacy with the nonhuman world that surrounds us. Martha Tuttle (b. 1989, Santa Fe, New Mexico) is a multimedia artist whose practise explores our relationship to the elemental and the surrounding environment. Interweaving sculpture, textile, and painting, she creates subtle, materially rich compositions that investigate impermanence, place, and the tension between the organic and the constructed. Working with earthen materials—plant dyes, stone pigments, wool, linen, and silk—Tuttle constructs fractured topographies that reframe geometric abstraction through the lens of the natural world. Her surfaces often incorporate stone, charred wood, and cast aluminium, generating nuanced tensions between opacity and transparency, weight and lightness, interior and exterior. Through her work, Tuttle reflects on the passage of time and the delicate balance of resilience and vulnerability in natural and built environments, combining careful materiality with a poetic, contemplative sensibility that invites close attention to form, texture, and atmosphere.
