I really enjoyed Tuttle's use of materials. He used objects and materials that were familiar to him that he often encountered in his every day life. I wanted to do something similar by using two materials that I often see in my every day life, or that i have had a lot of experience with. I work at farms over summers and deal with a lot of chicken wire, so i found the green netting very familiar. I used the blue foam with the lettering Dow because my father used to work for them. His clothing would often say "Dow" on a sleeve for the few years he was working there.
At first I wasn't very in to Tuttle's work but after seeing the film about him and reading/looking at more of his work I found it all very enticing.
