Artist: Glen Skien

As a veteran of the Queensland art scene, Glen Skien has spent the major part of his exhibiting life as a printmaker and author of objects in the Central Queensland coastal city of Mackay. After completing a signwriting apprenticeship and travelling in Europe, he returned to study a Diploma of Fine Arts in Townsville, graduating in 1988. Since 1990 he has exhibited consistently throughout regional Queensland and elsewhere. In 2007 he relocated to Brisbane to complete post graduate studies in printmaking at Griffith University, Queensland College of the Arts. Skien’s paper, board and fibre constructions evoke nostalgic responses. As a set designer with Crossroad Arts, a Mackay based deaf theatre ensemble, he discovered of how objects and surfaces contain the possibility of revealing their own narratives. His intriguing universal and personal narratives are expressed through the juxtaposition of found and made materials, combining stitching, printmaking and other highly skilled artisanal techniques
