28 years online
apepper.com first went live in 1997, marking the start of a sustained online presence now spanning 28 years. Originally a hand-coded HTML site, it offered simple functionality while beginning to catalogue works, exhibitions and writing.
During the early 2000s, the homepage began to highlight significant exhibitions and events, reflecting the growing breadth of activity. A major redesign followed in 2014, adopting the Joomla content management system for greater flexibility and to include more images and video. That version remained active for 11 years, becoming an archive in its own right.
End of an era – the previous version of the site has now been fully retired.
The redesigned homepage features an early animated light projection from the collection as its central image, creating a strong visual focus. Quick links to news, selected works and featured writing provide a clear, contemporary entry point to the wider portfolio and archive.
A New Design
In November 2025, the site entered its third phase with a cleaner, more spacious design. Every page was remade and re-edited to include additional archival information and newly digitised images.
The new version presents a broader range of works, together with updated publication and exhibition listings. Many pieces have been re-photographed, ensuring visual consistency and improved clarity across the archive. Each work now appears with standardised catalogue entries and narrative details, enhancing the site’s research value.
Navigation has been simplified: works can be accessed directly from the main menu or through the ‘Explore More’ links at the bottom of each page. The site is now optimised for mobile and tablet use, while desktop screens offer the most expansive view.
