Glenn is well-known for his site-specific architectural metalwork for the interior and exterior of residences, earning commissions for private homes, galleries, and stores as far away as France, Italy, and Japan. Interior designers, architects, and individual clients have come to rely on his mastery of materials and methods to design and deliver the appropriate commissions for their environments. His ability to work with ferrous and non-ferrous metals, for example, using hot and cold forging techniques, allows him to bring great life to the material and work. "I want the piece to have enough body," Glenn states,"that it will stand on its own, yet not be lost or overwhelming. I enjoy hot forging the metal because it is a very direct process. When I want a desired form, I have to know where and how to hit the metal. With each hammer blow, it moves in the desired direction." As a result of his ability to shape the metal, Glenn achieves a balanced relationship between mass, form, and function.
