...love kindness...walk humbly...
2020 Moving image/video single channel MP4 No. 3 in edition of 7 04:00 minutes Born out of Glynn’s response to the local catastrophic Black Summer, bushfires. In her studio surrounded by smoke she gave consideration to what was important to pack for evacuation. After the initial fires subsided, she began to record the blackened landscape, walking carefully through smouldering bush. In time rain fell and the charcoal trunks and ashen ground sprouted fresh new growth.

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.
