Meyer's artistic practice consists of photographs, that have been partially obscured, with the use of cross-stitch embroidery, hand-sewn directly into the photograph by the artist.

Diane Meyer is interested in the disjunct, between actual experience and photographic representation, and photography’s ability to supplant memory. By borrowing the visual language of digital imaging with an analog process, a connection is made between forgetting and digital file corruption. 

Her two main bodies of work are Berlin and Time Spent That Might Otherwise Be Forgotten. With the former, she explores the porous nature of memory, and the role of photography in transforming history into nostalgic objects, that obscure objective understandings of the past. With the latter, and through the tactility of her work, she references the growing trend of photographs remaining primarily digital, and rarely printed out into tangible objects.
