Angi D Wildt Gallery

Earth and Iron, A Family of Forms

His birds-on-stone bring a playful charm, while pieces like “The Weight of Shame,” a contemplative work exploring emotional burdens, show the depth of his creative vision. Crafted from metal and stone, Holt’s sculptures are well-suited for garden or indoor display, inviting reflection, joy, and curiosity. This month, he is joined by his daughter, Jessica Joner, a potter whose work includes elegant vases and functional ceramic pieces. Together, their art creates a beautiful dialogue between form, texture and meaning.
