The Weight, 2015

Kristine Potter is an artist whose work explores the psychological weight of the American landscape and the enduring influence of myth in shaping cultural identity. Her photographs engage with themes of power, masculinity, and history, often revealing the tension between lived experience and the idealized past. Her first monograph, Manifest, was published by TBW Books in 2018, and her second, Dark Waters, was published by Aperture in 2023. She has received numerous national and international awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship (2018), the Grand Prix Images Vevey (2019–2020), and the Hariban Prize (2023). Potter’s work is held in public and private collections, including the High Museum of Art, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Georgia Museum of Art, Light Work, the Swiss Camera Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London among others. She is represented by Sasha Wolf Projects in New York and MiCamera in Milan. She is an Assistant Professor of Photography at Middle Tennessee State University.
