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.

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.
