THE latest group exhibition from Cumbrian artists collective Green Door will open on Thursday May 25.

Outline, on display at Kendal Museum, includes drawings, mixed media, paintings, papercuts prints, wire sculptures and textiles from the South Lakes-based group's members.

Exhibiting artists include: Roger Bell, Averyl Bradbrook, Ellie Chaney, Barbra Cropper, Joyce Eldred, Ann Marie Foster, Eileen Gledhill, Ray Green, Mike Healey, Cheryl Hitchcock, Kath Lockhart, Emma Lowe, Liz Lyon, Marjorie Park, Fiona Reeves, Elizabeth Shorrock, Pat Smith, Elizabeth Tracey, Ana Sequeira, Sonja Ingrid Vietoris, Brie Wharf and Maddy Wright.

Ellie Chaney is fascinated by the diversity and complexity of forms found in nature, and recently her work has focused on making papercut images of aquatic animals.

Starting with a piece of paper she carefully draws with a surgical scalpel, slowly revealing the image. This medium is well suited to creating images of jellyfish and deep sea creatures, with their translucent forms often only outlined by a delicate external structure.

Printmaker Kath Lockhart, who has two linocuts in the exhibition, says: "The pub is an ideal place to observe people; sitting alone, in groups, interacting or simply side by side.

"No-one takes any notice of the lady in the corner scribbling away. However, the drawings have to be done quickly as those people, so willingly and unknowingly, providing the dynamic for my pleasure, can, and do, get up and walk away without warning. There is only time for Outline.”

Outline will be on display at Kendal Museum until the end of September.
