It's not often that Denver is privy to a "Dad/Daughter" team of artists, but Kay Tuttle's recent show at Ironton includes not only the bucolic imagery of birds and animals on wood for which she is known, but a series of works in production with her father Sam Tuttle which contrast Kay's feminine, but sometimes frightening natural worlds with a very male oriented vision of fighter planes and war. - KLH

(from the press release:)
Lost and Found: an exhibit of paintings on wood, drawings on found
Victorian prints, and a collaborative series of drawings between a
father and daughter.
Kay Tuttle Denver born artist, with an MFA from Arizona State University in Painting, she taught art courses at ASU, lived abroad (Germany and France) several years and now lives in Denver.
Lost and Found: Over the past few years Kay has been working on various found surfaces. She finds these surfaces to be a puzzle that must be solved both visually and conceptually. The found imagery adds a layer of chance to the finished work as well as a sense of collaboration, either with persons unknown or her father. The exhibit at Ironton will include three distinct bodies of work:
Collection Amusette, the first body of work, is a series of paintings on wood with imagery found in popular culture.
The Victorian Drawing Series consists of painted imagery on found
Victorian prints.� The paintings have a fairy tale quality with imagery
of spiders, birds and anatomical symbols.
The third body of work, the Dad/Daughter Drawings, are a collaborative
series with her father. Her father tends to draw very masculine things,
such as tanks, soldiers, etc, while Kay works with more stereotypically
female images.
