Antipodean Nocturne | Extinction
2018 Moving image/video single channel MP4 No. 1 in edition of 7 07:00 minutes Through a dramatic sfumato effect, this work explores our relationship with the Australian landscape. Filmed from a rainforest eyrie overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the video and audio were recorded on a hot, humid and stormy summer night… thunder, lightning, the love calls of cicadas… elemental forces at play as the planet warms… a potent display of nature. Over the duration of the work, text is gradually introduced to a cataclysmic storm - a list of Australian animals extinct since European arrival in 1788.

In this reimagined hybrid landscape, Glynn references 'Portrait of a Large Dog' (Dingo), commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks and painted from an inflated pelt by the acclaimed British painter, George Stubbs.
An inaccurate Australian native fauna silhouette swallows a menagerie of loosely stylized ponies by Stubbs to create a romantic antipodean anomaly.

A fantastical reimagining referencing George Stubbs Dingo Kongouro from New Holland (1768–71)
Joseph Banks sent a dingo pelt to London from the colonies and commissioned Stubbs to paint this new creature. Stubbs apparently had the skin sewn together and inflated it as his reference for the final painting.
