Waterline 2022
Abstract Photos by Lois Wakeman and
Tricia Scott
26 April until 12 June
Rotunda Gallery, Lyme Regis Museum
The second in a long-term
collaboration between two like-minded artists, Tricia Scott and Lois
Wakeman, this fascinating exhibition of contemporary abstract
photography focuses on the weathered and textured surfaces of boats.
Both photographers like to look for
things that many people would walk past, or over, unseeing. Living by
the coast, seaside subjects naturally suggested themselves. Visitors
are invited to lose themselves in imaginary scenes created by peeling
paint, corrosion and worn wood and to admire the surprising patterns
revealed when the boats are hauled out of water for the winter.
Intrigued by the abstract and painterly nature of the photos, people
at previous shows have enjoyed reading their own interpretation into
them. “Are you sure these aren’t paintings?” is a common reaction.
Waterline 2022
is open Tuesdays through Saturdays, 10.00-17.00 and Sundays
10.00-16.00, admission fees to Museum apply and for further

WALKS and TOURS |
Do take advice about safe tide times before setting off for more than
 fifteen
minutes hike, without a guide, along our beautiful beaches: - what
appears to be an easy bit of ground to scramble over is more
likely to be a treacherous mud slide - don't take a chance! |
