Marooned
2019 Moving image/video single channel MP4 No. 1 in edition of 7 07:00 minutes Created atop an extinct volcano in response to the Mt Kaputar Snail and Slug Threatened Ecological Community. Hyper-coloured vignettes pay homage to the most notable creature, a giant pink slug, the only element in the moving image work left in its natural colour. In 2019 massive bushfires roared across the mountain, decimating the habitat; great fears were held for the ecological community. However, during later rains numerous pink slugs were recorded.

Extinction Coat of Arms
2020
Pencil, watercolour and acrylic on Stonehenge 250gsm paper
210 x 127cm / 220.5 x 137cm framed
'Extinction Coat of Arms' creates a new national symbol. Glynn references and reimagines Australian historical images.
All the Australian fauna depicted in this work, are extinct. The design reinterprets our coat of arms. An intense red for the kangaroo and emu flanking the national plant, golden wattle.

Extinction Game – Red-Crowned Parakeet
2020
Pencil and watercolour on Stonehenge 250gsm paper
95 x 62cm unframed / 120 x 80cm framed
'Extinction Game - Red-Crowned Parakeet’ reimagines a historical portrait of an extinct Australian bird. This parrot was endemic to Lord Howe and is extinct since 1870.
The black and white chess board may refer to a game, to burnt and unburnt, to race, to colonial floorcloths, to finance (the French escheker), to ‘checkered’ alternations of good and bad.
