With survival as the central theme, recent works reflect the times of global upending threat. The broader message, however, is one of the tenacity of the human spirit in the face of peril. Holton tells his story with details that are both literal and metaphoric. The depiction of his characters informs the viewer of the psychic space that they occupy, and allude to either a past or future moment that frames this particular manifestation in time.
