Glen Hayward

Glen Hayward (b. 1974, Auckland) graduated with a Doctorate from Elam in 2005. In 2003 he participated in the inaugural Sculpture on the Gulf, studied at Atelier Parekowhai 93-95 but fell in love prior with sculpture through the object put to use in the performances of John Lyall.

Art was and remains a place where it is not what it is. It being the English word for Id. This “it” or thingly quality of people and the world at large is what induces relationship, what artists dignify and ultimately what eludes us and in doing so tells us something about the world. It is the space in a vase, the gaps between timbers on a seat and the enlivening space under the table for a child at a dinner party. The miracle that the skin of a loved one contains your whole world.

He is represented by a dear friend Paul Nache.
