Keith Grinter works in a range of media including glass (painted and blown), sculpture from Oamaru stone and recycled timber, painting and printmaking.

 

His recent sculpture have been installations of timber works based on blind contour drawings made while walking in Whanganui. His recent glass work and painting have used the same drawings. The concept of drawing while walking to investigate the everyday was developed for his Masters degree.
