About Dave Holt
Dave Holt creates symbolic art on ancient petrified wood and stone, working directly with the color, fractures, mineral formations, texture, and natural form of each object. His symbols are painted in response to the individual stone rather than imposed upon a predetermined surface, allowing the geological material to remain an active part of the finished work.
The work brings contemporary human marks into contact with material formed across immense geological time. Painted surfaces coexist with exposed stone, raw edges, fissures, bark, and mineral structures, creating objects that can be approached from multiple sides and continue to reveal details through close viewing.
