Don Potts was a San Francisco sculptor who began working with wood and shaped canvas in the early 1960s while at San Jose State College. Along with a number of artists attending and teaching at Northern California colleges, like Mowry Baden, Tony DeLap, and Bruce Nauman, Potts began to extend the boundaries of what constituted sculpture. For him this consisted of finely crafted objects that, according to San Francisco critic Thomas Albright, “had erotic overtones: shapes like pelvic girdles or saddles, trimmed with fur-lined edges and equipped with ‘arms’ or rockers.”
