An act of spontaneous placement, propped up 'on the way' to the gallery wall, yet installed with conviction. The marks become framed by their location and the rectangle of light which makes the work visible. First show in Drawology, Lanchester Gallery, Coventry University, UK. This is the first time Andrew Pepper has used a digital holographic production process. The 'image/object' within the holographic plate existed, initially, as a series of 'points' within an online 'cloud' 3-D model system. The resulting physical hologram, on plastic, was produced as a 'test' towards the end of 2013. A way for Pepper to begin to explore the digital process and locate a 'space' and production method which reflected his earlier spatial 'drawings'. It reiterated some of the hand-drawn works produced in the late 1980's and early 90's, being made up of multiple, individual, points of lights (which in the digital version are 'hogels' - the equivalent of holographic 'pixels'). There is a direct connection between this digital work and Point Addition, an earlier work using much larger points of light separated into five distinct levels in space.
