A central theme of Dave Court's work is the overlapping of digital and physical worlds, where or how there is a distinction, and how this affects our engagement, perception and interaction with the world and each other. Dave uses a process based approach to his practice, experimenting with different media and applications, from digital illustration to commercial painting equipment, brushes, rollers, studio fashioned painting and sculpting tools and more.

Through his work Dave thinks about questions of personal agency while engaging with the Internet of Things, the authenticity of digital objects, generational identity in the face of environmental disaster, and art as a catalyst for community in a time of extreme content saturation.
