Glyn's practice involves the use of digital image manipulation, and photography.

"My current work relates to themes concerning oppression, authority, conformity and order. After experimenting with and constructing various pattern formations I have come to regard pattern as an appropriate visual device to use in correlation to these themes because the elements that constitute the design of a pattern have to ‘conform’ to the greater scheme of the whole design.
Pattern itself is authoritative. Also, based upon the principle of decorative design, patterns should reflect the sentiments of the age in which they are created. My latest images and patterns are based upon conspiracy theories, the globalist agenda of the New World Order, and the ultimate panoptic control of contemporary society achieved though endemic surveillance. Each work has been produced onto a series of mirror tiles that allow the viewer’s reflection to become part of the work as well as the viewer being able to watch others without their knowledge."
