According to Richard Tuttle, everything in life is drawing. Tuttle even considers his own sculptures as drawings. To make his "drawings" (and actual paintings), Tuttle uses media such as paper, rope, paint, string, cloth, wire, twigs, cardboard, bubble wrap, nails, Styrofoam, and plywood.
Tuttle has an interest in calligraphy and the written language. So he tries to transform this interest into the art form of sculpture. His works are also inspired by the sense of sight. In particular, Tuttle likes to explore what you cannot see in his art by kind of hiding it or covering it up with paint or some other material.
The majority of Tuttle's work are three-dimensional and geometric in shape. His pieces are monochromatic when it comes to his sculptures, but as for his paintings, they are light and colorful. His paintings also differ in that they are organic in shape. However, one thing all of his pieces have in common is that they are all non-representative in nature.
Tuttle believes that art is life. With this belief is the notion that art is capable of many things, and can make people's lives more than what they are.
