Below and Beyond presents a series of paintings and handmade seaweed paper sculptures by Hobart artist Catherine Stringer. The artworks explore landscapes as places of threshold and transition. All of the artworks in the exhibition depict water in some way, continuing a longstanding theme in Stringer's practice. Many of the works depict the surfaces of sea, rivers, creeks and waterholes, where clear water allows partial views of what lies beneath the surface, while also reflecting the surrounding rocks, cliffs, trees and sky. Some of these waters also contain a swimmer whose rippling image merges with water's reflections. In other works, the eye is drawn to the distance through kelp beds, open water or cave entrances, towards spaces that remain beyond our view. Water reflects and reveals, distorts and conceals, adapts and flows. Water leads us beyond the immediately visible.
