About FlameWriter 🔥 Glenn Todd
Glenn Todd is a sculptor, graphic designer and creative director based in Carrajung, Gippsland, working at the intersection of large-scale fabrication, kinetic engineering and participatory public art.
Glenn holds a Fine Arts certificate, a signwriting apprenticeship and a Graphic Design diploma, and spent years in industrial fabrication, experience he now applies directly to his sculptural practice.
As an emerging artist transitioning to a commercial career, Glenn is building a sustainable practice centred on large-scale public and interactive works, funded through exhibition hire income, commissions and creative partnerships.
Cofounder of Pyromancer & Co, Australia’s premier fire art and sculpture company, Glenn has delivered fire performances for local council, community events and burning man festivals.
Glenn approaches all work with a deep commitment to public safety, inclusive design and professional rigour.
