Keith's work is architectural, site specific. Ideas come from printmaking and mixed media paper work in parallel to my glass design. Themes are imagined landscape. I work to commission clients/architects needs prefigure. Motifs and calligraphic marks from landscape work, abstract representational solutions to clients briefs. Themes, motifs dictated to major extent for each commission. Influences printmaking and calligraphy.
