2021 Moving image/video single channel MP4 No. 1 in edition of 7 05:19 minutes Created in Glynn’s rainforest home tucked under the steep cliffs of the Illawarra escarpment. The 2020/21 disasters: drought, fires, evacuations, floods and the pandemic created an opportunity in her isolation to embrace the cycle and rhythms of nature and spend extensive time in the forest observing and collecting field recordings. She witnessed the seductive, frenetic mating dance of the lyrebirds to create a multilayered diaphanous video.

Photomontage on 310gsm cotton rag

In ‘Eurotipodes - Colonial Capsize’ a semitransparent horse hangs upside down, merged with a kangaroo in a red colonial landscape. The diaphanous layered landscape reimagines colonial paintings from the Mitchell Library, referencing time, ecological and cultural change. Two iconic creatures are joined. In this work Glynn is reflecting on what is an ‘Australian’ landscape?
