Looking Up

Glen has discovered that art holds the power to transport us to another realm, offering moments of escape from mental health challenges. Through his creative practice, he captures a means of self-expression that help to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression.

An award-winning artist, Glen has exhibited widely and is actively involved in promoting and supporting the arts in Ipswich. He seeks out subjects that stir his heart and evoke a sense of nostalgia. Working predominantly with mixed media, Glen’s practice centres on repurposing old and discarded materials - giving them a renewed life and transforming them into something beautiful.

When you're underwater, the silence clogs your ears, and sunlight shimmers and glimmers across the surface as you float - weightless, like you're in zero gravity. The world above blurs, smears, and drifts away. It’s a little bit frightening at first, but that feeling soon fades, replaced by the mesmerising beauty that filters down from above.
