Anna Glynn

I strive to create visually poetic work investigating the connection between humans, history, nature, land, place, physical and ephemeral. My diverse practice includes: multimedia, painting, drawing, moving image, sculpture, installation, photography, writing, music, sound and interdisciplinary collaborations between art and science. Some quotes about Anna’s work: "...Her sometimes surprising and disorienting combinations of historical and contemporary subjects insert history into the present. And the present into history. They remind us of just how wondrous and alienating the Australian landscape was, so puzzling and new it seemed almost the stuff of fairy tales." Louise Anemaat, Executive Director, State Library of NSWIn this I overturn the European idea of Australia being ‘down under’ “For much of European history, Australia was a distant concept – a land of mythical creations and fantastical forms. The great southern land was an unexplored place of imagination and desire... The contrast in imagery, and the wide swathes of sky and sea between…encourage us to consider the physical, cultural and emotional distance between Australia and England that was experienced by the colonists…” Bronwyn Coulston, Director, Shoalhaven Regional Gallery "Through her interdisciplinary artistic practice and ongoing investigations of place and perspective through time, Anna finds way of challenging assumptions and what we think we know. Her work is beautiful, curious and provocative." - Marla Guppy, Chair South Coast Arts, Inc
