Cotter's work is currently held in the collections of the Racine Art Museum and was displayed as part of their "Precious Metals: Shining Examples from RAM’s Collection" exhibition in 2016.[6] His work has also been displayed at the National Craft Gallery in Ireland and the Taboo Gallery in San Diego, California.[7][8]
In 2017 Cotter and his gallery placed as one of the "Best of Vail" by readers of the Vail Daily.[9]
Cotter uses materials around him. A lot of his work has to do with texture, and making things look bigger than they are, or making things that should be maybe smaller or bigger.[2]
