Holt’s creative process is perhaps best encapsulated by Aldous Huxley’s description of art, as articulated in the preface to his Collected Essays (1960):
"Freely, effortlessly, thought and feeling move in these... works of art... between the essay’s three poles – from personal to universal, from the abstract back to the concrete, from the objective datum to the inner experience."
