Dee also works in experimental photography where they use their previous experience as a scientist to explore environmental issues and how these can be highlight through imagery. They use experimental processes including mixed media practises and installation practices more often found in Fine Art .

Artist Statement
Diane Holt is a photographic practitioner who involves experimental practices throughout their work. Working in digital and analogue formats, Holt pushes the limits of these to create visually stimulating images. Holt’s work incorporates the environments such as Yorkshire’s coastline. The recent theme demonstrates a passage of time and resilience through the erosion of man-made and natural landscapes.
Holt appreciates the materiality of a photographic images, and their practice explores print processes beyond traditional hanging images on gallery walls. Inspired by the philosopher Jean-François Lyotard, Holt has experimented with non-traditional printing which goes beyond the tradition of merely hanging images on gallery walls. Utilising installation concepts Holt has incorporated materiality into their exhibition work that can be handled by the audience. Holt's Erosion exhibition incorporated transparencies bringing sensory stimulation through touch for their audience creating engagement with the subject of disappearing coastlines in a non-traditional presentation.
