This is one of the artist’s favorite original abstract creations. Not just because of the way the lines came out when he took a row of nails to manipulate the paint. Not because of how the colors blended so seamlessly. Not because he loves wonky stripes and bright colors. All of those are true, but it’s his favorite because he knows he will never be able to recreate it and have it turn out so stunning. He will literally cry himself to sleep and wake up in an anxious sweat thinking about all of the failed attempts to recreate this. His loss is your gain because it will truly bring joy and movement to any space.

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. Like a squirrel, he is attracted to shiny things and free nuts. He’s been included in numerous Flint Institute of Arts Student Exhibitions, Arte Della Morte at Mainsail Collective (Flint, MI 2019), Kaleidoscope of Expression at Pontiac Creative Arts Center (Pontiac, MI 2019), and the Blick Art Materials Local Artist Winter Showcase (Detroit, MI 2019). During 2020, he participated in virtual exhibitions with the Detroit Deltas (Detroit, MI) and the Harvey Milk Festival (Sarasota, FL).
