...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.

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.
