Glamazon

This original collage was created during the initial  quarantine of the pandemic. The artist had a Vanity Fair magazine, some paint, and lots of glitter to play with. And in that time of questioning everything, buying everything, and worrying about everything, this glamazon was born. And like a true drag queen, this piece absolutely sparkles like a diamond!

Cory Potter is a Michigan based artist who hoards paper for collage, paint for abstracts, and glitter for both. He is interested in the weird, the bright, the queer, the garish, the strange, and the unconventional and will use anything as an art supply. Much of his work explores the concepts of identity, voice, and connectedness within marginalized communities, pop culture, and the performing arts. Like a squirrel, he is attracted to shiny things and free nuts. He’s been included in numerous Flint Institute of Arts Art School Exhibitions (Flint, MI), Arte Della Morte at Mainsail Collective (Flint, MI 2019), Kaleidoscope of Expression at Pontiac Creative Arts Center (Pontiac, MI 2019), Blick Art Materials Local Artist Winter Showcase (Detroit, MI 2019), Fenton Art Council’s New Directions Exhibition (Fenton, MI 2022), and as one of the featured artists at Rainbow Riot inside the Dark Art Market in Lansing, MI. During 2020, he participated in virtual exhibitions with the Detroit Deltas (Detroit, MI) and the Harvey Milk Festival (Sarasota, FL).
