I was really pleased to be able to provide a piece of work for inclusion in the annual Nottingham Trent University Fine Art Auction held on April 13th in the Bonington Building atrium.
Coherent Points (Surface) is a limited edition silk screen print developed from work using scanned laser light onto a rotating structure. One of the artist proofs was part of a wide range of lots on the night which ranged from painting, construction, photography, ans sculpture.
There was a stunning collection of work from staff, students (current and past), visiting lecturers and friends of the course. Funds from the sale of work are used by the third year fine art students to produce and promote their end of course degree show and catalogue.
Bidding was 'energetic' and there were some rather 'stellar' prices with students and staff competing to grab their favourite lots. A great evening with some of the best food I’ve had at a student event - all lovingly prepared and given away free of charge by the organising students. They know how to draw punters!
Massive congratulations to the team which organised the auction which raised several thousand pounds on the night.
I managed to get hold of a pice of work from an artist I have had my ‘eye on’ for some time and have been outbid in previous years. This year was certainly my year!!
A limited edition silk screen print has been produced as a development from one of Andrew Pepper's light installations.
Printed onto graph paper using acrylic pigment, this is an edition of 30 with 5 artists proofs.
Title: Coherent Points (Surface)
Date: 2015

Framed size: 52.5 x 42.5 x 3.5 cm
Edition of 40 with 10 artist proofs
Production: Nottingham Trent University School of Art and Design print studio, Nottingham, UK.
Notes: This limited edition print developed from documentation of a series of three-dimensional laser projections which took place as part of Nottingham Trent University's Fine Art Summer Lodge residency 2014.
The original, animated, installation utilised scanned coherent light from a laser, displayed onto a slowly rotating cubic structure. Initial test prints were made during the 2014 Summer Lodge but it was not until April 2015 that a relevant paper was selected and the edition printed.
Special thanks to Vicky Price and Alvyn Mills at Nottingham Trent University Print studio for their help and advice.
