Waterline 2022, the second in a long-term collaboration between two like-minded artists, Tricia Scott and Lois Wakeman, is a fascinating exhibition of contemporary abstract photography that features the weathered and textured surfaces of boats.

It will be running at the Rotunda Gallery of the Lyme Regis Museum from April 26 until June 12.

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, ready for a fresh coat of paint.

Intrigued by the abstract and painterly nature of the photos, visitors to 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 information, please visit www.lymeregismuseum.co.uk.
