Martha Tuttle
Return to the Field, 2022
Unique sculpture and signed book in artist's custom phase folder
Edition of 5 + 2 APs
500 USD
This limited edition by Martha Tuttle includes a signed copy of her 2021 edited volume, Return to the Field (published on the occasion of the artist's exhibition and sculptural installation, A stone that thinks of Enceladus at Storm King Art Center), and a unique sculptural stone.
Each delicate, silk and indigo nut-sized stone, when cast in steel, produces a meditation on the often porous boundaries between the "natural" and the "artificial." Echoing the artist's use of materials drawn from mineral pigments and dyes, and natural textiles, each individual hand-made stone, unique in its specific form, presents an intimate, physical, and poetic connection to the physical and material world.
