This poetic work relies on the natural materials - a sweep of a traditional brush laden with Chinese ink - precise but also random at the same time - water and ink – control and flow - duality of materials.
"The exhibition is a showcase for excellent contemporary art practice from across Australia and the selected artworks represent many of the key trends in contemporary art."

‘Above and Below’ is a visually poetic video work by Australian artist Anna Glynn, filmed at Long Key in the Dry Tortugas National Park USA whilst Artist in Residence 'off grid’ on the remote island of Loggerhead Key.

In the tradition of copying and reinterpreting, as used during this time in history, my ink etched silhouettes contain images from early Australian natural history drawings.
