PhD Part of MIT Museum Collection

Drawing in Space: A holographic system to simultaneously draw images on a flat surface and in three-dimensional space.

Andrew Pepper's PhD submission to the Fine Art Department at the University of Reading, UK, is now in the MIT Museum Collection. Cambridge, USA.

The PhD, submitted in 1988, was the first to be awarded by the University of Reading and is considered an early example of a practice-based, submission by an artist.

The collection of work is made up of holograms, with a spotlight to view them, contained within a bound 'file box' supported by an extensive text outlining the development of the work as a creative research initiative.

Originally acquired by the Posy Jackson private collection, it was donated to the MIT museum on her death and officially acquisitioned in June 2025.
