Sight Lines<\/a> (made for a solo show at Gallery 286, London), the holograms had been taken off the wall and placed horizontally, hanging just above the floor. Prior to being installed in the gallery, each of the hanging metal surfaces had been allowed to rust out in the open, arranged in a straight line.\u2028<\/span><\/p>\nThere is an environmental and physical continuity between each metal surface and the pattern of rusting it has received. Each of the small circular holograms contains images of liquid, the shadows of which exist just above the surface of the glass that holds the holographic disc.<\/span><\/p>\n
Like the pattern created by the rust, these shadows could not be predicted. The liquids used on the metal, and during the recording of the hologram, have drawn their own marks over the surfaces.\u2028<\/span><\/p>\nThis reference to drawing is a common and recurring element in Pepper\u2019s work. The metal sheets are the dimensions of half a sheet of A4 paper – an accessible size found all over Europe. Something people write on, draw on, photocopy on, laser print on. Here, the size has been divided along the longest length to produce a shape onto which long lines could be drawn.<\/span><\/p>\n
Each circular hologram was selected to resonate with the pattern of marks on the rusted metal sheet. They are subdued – green\/brown, red – and form an integral part of each metal rectangle, not simply surrounded by a frame to make them convenient to display.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.apepper.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Butler-logo-2.png” title_text=”Butler logo 2″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
