One Moment in Time

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 I was a young man - a time meant for self-discovery and identity formation - I realised I wasn’t like everyone else. My life suddenly felt uncertain. At a stage that should have been full of opportunity, I was instead plagued by vulnerabilities. While trying to build a strong sense of self, I was hounded by self-doubt and confusion. I found myself withdrawing from the world, lacking friends, and overwhelmed by self-hate.
