Kelly Holt STATEMENT Exploring urban environments through experimental photography, and working with a call and response method to hone in on images that are visually interesting are part of her process. Recurring themes in studio work include sliding doors at train stations, looking at looking and leaving a trace in the energy of an urban environment. Holt strives for images taken from a place of no restraint or clear destination. Adding media and alternative substances, she aims to illustrate the chaos–striving to create a tension of something about to happen. Influences in her art practice include Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, JR, Shepard Fairey, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
