References: I make the connection between myself living within this landscape, the historical past and the tenuous present. I include my own watercolour interpretation of Stubbs painting of a Dingo into a historical mashup, playing with imagery and history to create a new narrative. My connection with my catholic upbringing seeps through to portray a native Australian animal, the dingo, gliding effortlessly upon the glassy pink water. Mountains and sky are inverted in our upside-down antipodean land, connected to a European aesthetic and interpretation of landscape, flora and fauna.

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?
