Hi All, looking forward to reading ANCHOR, and the diversity of definitions of 'outline' it contains! Further to my post of September 2015, I offer one more:
'Outline' refers to a drawn mark which excludes all traces of the contrast boundaries visible in the visual field except those which occur at the edges of an object perceivable within the visual field. (Where no contrast of either tone or texture is visible at the boundary between the object and its surroundings, then what psychologists term 'closure' is brought into play - see attached image as example).

Subject : Marmalade Publishers of Visual Theory Book Launch
Marmalade Publishers of Visual Theory are proud to present the launch of the new and exciting artists drawing book ANCHOR, edited by Joe Graham.
Location: Royal Institute of British Architects bookshop, 66 Portland Pl, London W1B 1AD.
Date: Tuesday 9th February, 6.30 – 8.30 pm.
ANCHOR contains fourteen responses to the question: What is an outline?
As a form of practice-led research formed across drawing, print, photography and text, ANCHOR questions the idea that the phenomenon of outline can be defined in the traditional sense.
Instead, ANCHOR poses an alternative mode of reply: anchoring it according to the manner in which the phenomenon of outline 'appears'. Rather than present a singular answer that defines a narrow understanding, ANCHOR seeks to outline a wider interpretation across a range of contributions.
ANCHOR includes drawings and texts by: Andrew Hewish, Chantal Faust, Claude Heath, Deborah Harty, Gemma Anderson,
Gordon Shrigley, Kelly Chorpening, Joe Graham, Paul McDevitt, Phil Sawdon, Steven Dickie, Thomas Falstad, Tom Morton and Virginia Verran.
