Carter Potter
Carter Potter was born in Los Angeles, California, 1961.For nearly fifteen years he has been using film-stock as the base from which he created “Paintings”- in which he stretches the “leaders, feet and spacers” from discarded film around stretchers in horizontal rows, which when assembled read as translucent minimalist canvases.
Potter has always worked with found sculptural materials.His film paintings have subtly evolved over the last decade- a transition that can be discussed with a vocabulary similar to that used to describe minimalist painting- from densely woven strips of 16 and 35mm stock to his current use 70mm IMAX material.
