Glen’s doctoral thesis is titled Painting and the Materiality of Thought. It takes the question of how and when thinking occurs through painting as its medium, as opposed to its usual organisation through the medium of language.
On the subject of painting as object, Glen has curated an exhibition called Materialised, and published a catalogue More Than a Picture: The Painting as Object. His work has been selected for curated exhibitions such as Grid / Colour / Plane at Malcolm Smith Gallery and On Hold to Read at Morrinsville Gallery. He has been commissioned for work at the Project Wall, Te Tuhi and his work has toured in exhibitions for the Arts House Trust (TSB Bank Awards). He is included in such public collections as the Arts House Trust, and has an ongoing interest in writing alongside his making. He has been published in the Psychodynamic Practice journal, Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, along with the on-line critical art-review site EyeContact.
