Line Addition<\/strong> was the first editioned work in holography by Pepper, as part of a series of three pieces produced during the mid-1980s in London.\u2028<\/p>\n In 1982, Pepper had returned from a two-year Fulbright Scholarship at the Museum of Holography, New York. It was during his residency in the city that he was taught the practical aspects of holography by artists Dan Schweitzer and Sam Moree at New York Holographic Labs in Manhattan.<\/p>\n Although he recognised the potential of the process in connection with his previous work with projected light, and wanted to continue investigating holograms, he did not have a laser or optical studio of his own, so formed a collaboration with Light Fantastic Ltd, which at the time had a gallery in London\u2019s Covent Garden and was a leading manufacturer of holograms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”p||divi||400″ icon_color=”#7CDA24″ align=”left” _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” transform_scale=”40%|40%” animation_style=”fade” animation_direction=”right” global_module=”25291″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text admin_label=”Catalogue” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Title: The Addition Series<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Date: 1984-86<\/p>\n Size: Each 25.4 x 20.32cm ( 10 x\u00a0 8 inches)<\/p>\n Materials:\u00a0Reflection hologram on glass<\/p>\n Edition:\u00a0Unlimited, no longer in production<\/span><\/p>\n Produced in association with Light Fantastic, London<\/span><\/p>\n Collection: Private and public<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” min_height=”761.4px” custom_margin=”||-62px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.apepper.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Line-addition.jpg” title_text=”Line Addition” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” animation_style=”fade” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_testimonial quote_icon_background_color=”#7CDA24″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”55px” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”49px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n My relationship with Light Fantastic was much like a printmaker\u2019s relationship with a more traditional printing house.\u2028<\/p>\n A \u2018proof\u2019 hologram was made by Light Fantastic at their Shepshed production facility; adjustments to the object, holographic recording setup, lighting, and positioning would be suggested and further \u2018proofs\u2019 produced until the desired visual and dimensional groundwork was achieved.\u2028<\/p>\n The approved hologram would then be editioned and sold via the London gallery.<\/p>\n I \u2018drew\u2019 on each plate by applying graphic white lines by hand before each piece was framed and made available for sale – a personal, graphic, \u2018signature\u2019, each microscopically unique.<\/p>\n Andrew Pepper, 1995<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.apepper.com\/studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Line-addition-Focus-3.jpg” title_text=”Line addition Focus 3″ _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=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||100px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_heading title=”Line Addition” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n First Edition<\/p>\n As part of the collaboration, Pepper designed a number of holograms. He made the physical objects, sculptures, and structures required for each recording, and specified visual-dimensional layouts and object lighting.\u2028<\/p>\n Light Fantastic would then make the master holograms and white-light viewable editions at their extensive holography facility in Shepshed, UK. These were then exhibited and sold at their London gallery.<\/p>\n Line Addition<\/strong> was the first in this collaboration and developed directly from Random Cube Rotation<\/a>, an earlier installation with animated and projected light, originally exhibited as part of Pepper\u2019s Master of Fine Art degree show<\/a> at the University of Reading, UK.<\/p>\n The aim of this reworking was to develop the graphic and kinetic aspects of the original sculptural installation within a holographic volume.\u2028<\/p>\n This is probably the best-known early work in the Pepper\/Light Fantastic collaboration.\u2028<\/p>\n Line Addition<\/strong> is held in numerous public and private collections and has been exhibited internationally.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text
