CV

Glen's work is primarily process based and experimental it derives input from the environment, which shapes the work. Overall the art practice Psychogeography is an exploration of urban environments that emphasises playfulness and "drifting". It has links to the Situationists International.

Drawing upon the space evoking feeling from experience achieves a fresh perspective that is freedom.

Glen's work evolves by incorporating Photography, Painted illustration and 3D into a gestalt story.
